Why You Should Be Sweet On Our Boarding for Diabetic Pets
When it comes to having to leave your pet behind while you get on with human life, it can be hard. It is even harder when your pet has special medical needs. That’s why at Animal Medical Hospital & Urgent Care we offer medical boarding for those animals that need a little extra care.
While we are willing and able to take care of pets with just about any sort of medical problem, we are very well-versed in the day to day care of diabetic patients. When you need boarding for diabetic pets, you can breathe a little sigh of relief that your sugar baby is in good hands.
How Boarding for Diabetic Pets is Different
If you have a diabetic pet, you know that they need a little extra TLC. You can’t just drop them off at the boarding kennel and pick them up in a couple of weeks. Boarding for diabetic pets requires extra preparation and a knowledgeable caretaker.
With that in mind, who better to take care of your diabetic pet than the expert staff at Animal Medical Hospital & Urgent Care?
While in our care, your pet will receive:
- Careful monitoring of eating habits
- Accurate and timely insulin dosing
- Appropriate handling of insulin
- Attention to overall well-being and health
- Blood glucose checks if/when needed
- Medical attention from one of our veterinarians if needed
- Attention to emotional and social needs to make your pet’s stay as comfortable and as close to being at home as possible
When a diabetic pet is stressed or not eating well, it can really affect their overall health. Routine is everything for these patients, and we are up for the challenge.
How You Can Set Us Up for Success
In order to be successful boarding diabetic pets, our medical boarding staff needs to know how you take care of your pet. You can help by filling out our medical boarding questionnaire ahead of time. Beyond this basic information, please also:
- Provide us with enough of your pet’s usual diet
- Bring along any treats or extras that your pet enjoys
- Bring your pet’s insulin and syringes
- Bring along items that smell like home such as beds or blankets your pet enjoys
- Provide familiar toys and lovies for your pet to enjoy

- Alert us to any other health issues or concerns
