Specialized Boarding for Pets with Medical Needs

Some pets need a little extra attention while their families are away—and that’s where veterinary-supervised boarding makes all the difference. Our medical boarding services focus on dogs and cats with unique health needs, offering both comfort and consistent medical oversight.

We regularly care for pets who are:

Diabetic and insulin-dependent

On scheduled daily medications

Recovering from surgery or illness

Senior or geriatric animals needing close observation

Pets with mobility challenges or disabilities

These pets require more than just food and water. Our trained veterinary team is experienced in handling everything from insulin injections to mobility assistance, and we do so with kindness and precision.

24/7 Veterinary Supervision for Peace of Mind

Unlike traditional boarding kennels, medical boarding at Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand means your pet will be monitored by veterinary professionals around the clock. Our hospital is staffed 24/7, providing continuous access to medical care should your pet need it—day or night.

This constant supervision helps minimize health risks, detect any changes early, and ensure that medications are administered on time and exactly as prescribed. Whether your pet needs injections, mobility support, or simple reassurance during stressful moments, our team is ready.

A Comfortable, Caring Environment

Medical boarding doesn’t mean clinical or cold. We believe comfort plays a big role in your pet’s well-being, especially when they’re away from home. Each pet receives individualized care based on their medical needs and temperament. From cozy bedding to carefully managed diets, we do everything we can to make your pet feel secure and loved during their stay.

Veterinarians often refer their patients to us for boarding because they know we provide both the medical expertise and emotional support needed for a safe and positive experience.

Many referring veterinarians count on us for boarding pets who are not ideal candidates for standard kennels. Our hospital setting allows us to maintain a close watch on pets with ongoing conditions and to act quickly should their needs change.

We keep open communication with pet parents and, if necessary, with their primary care vets. Our goal is to maintain the continuity of your pet’s care while you’re away.
