Boarding

Finding dependable care for your cats and dogs when you have to go out of town can be challenging. Altadena Valley Animal Clinic provides the perfect solution for pet parents who prefer to have veterinary supervision for their furry family members to ensure a healthy, happy, comfortable stay.

Our facility offers an exceptional boarding experience to dogs and cats and allows you to be worry free while you’re away. Not only do we take extra measures to make your pets feel at home, but we also take the health of each boarding guest seriously. We implement extra precautions to protect the health of each boarder by requiring annual physical exams for both dogs and cats, and they must be up to date on vaccinations.

Dogs and cats are housed in separate areas to ensure that all visitors have a pleasant, stress-free stay. We supply beds and blankets for all boarders, and each guest receives individualized attention from our caring staff members. Our staff spends lots of quality time with each pet, and we provide dogs with walks in one of our three outside yards every hour.

Pet owners have the option of reserving one of our 8 suites for their dog. Suites are larger in size and have access to cameras 24/7 so that owners can keep an eye on their pets. Our other canine accommodations include indoor runs, kennels, or double wides. We assign doggie boarders to one of these accommodations depending on their size; owners do not choose the specific lodgings unless they are paying for a suite.

Our feline friends have their own private kitty domain away from their rambunctious canine counterparts. Each cat is housed in a 2-room condo so that they can relax in their own separate space, and they have a playroom as well for cat zoomies.

Because any change in diet can cause dietary upset, we feed all of our guests Hill’s Science Prescription I/D. Owners can also bring their pet’s regular food from home. Our staff monitors the appetite and urination/bowel movements of each canine and feline guest, and our veterinarians will be alerted if any problems are noted.

All pets must be up to date on shots and parasite free. Cats are required to be vaccinated for Rabies and FVRCP. Dogs are required to be vaccinated for Rabies, DA2PP, Lepto, Bordetella, Canine Influenza, and they must have a negative fecal test.

Our weekend hours for drop off or pick-up are 7-12 on Saturday and pick-up only from 5-5:30 on Sunday evening.

If you live in Birmingham, Vestavia Hills, Liberty Park, or Hoover and you need boarding services that you can trust, give us a call for more information, or come by and check us out. We recommend making reservations in advance, especially during the holidays and peak vacation times.

Our Reviews

  • I love AVAC! Dr Brennan always takes time to answer all my questions and does a thorough exam when I bring my pups in. I love how she sits down in the floor with them because they are always anxious. The vet techs are great and very knowledgeable. I feel like they really care about my fur babies and provide them with excellent care.

  • My family dog of 15 years passed away recently. Dr. Brennan treated us with so much kindness. She explained the process and gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye. I’m very grateful for her compassion during such a hard time.

  • Hershey absolutely loves coming here and gets so excited when we pull up. He always comes home happy and healthy. A couple times, they have called me to let me know he didn’t eat while boarding or had a little diarrhea, but they always check with me before doing anything extra with him. They truly care about the pets in their care! Kudos to the entire staff and thank you for all you do!

  • My cat, who’s my entire world, wasn’t feeling great so I made an appointment same day with Altadena Clinic. They made sure my cat was well taken care, walked me through everything and even did a follow up check in. It’s client service like that, which builds loyalty and respect. Thank you especially to Leslie & Dr Gonzalez for treating my baby with kindness & care.
