Burr Ridge Veterinary Clinic recommends in-home pet sitters, whenever possible, before kennel and boarding facilities. Your four-legged family members will usually be calmer in their own environment and won’t be exposed to other potentially infectious diseases from other pets. This list was compiled based on our clients’ recommendations:
Paws in Paradise Pet Hotel & Doggie Daycare
While many facilities are willing to administer medication, we suggest you make sure your pet’s medication needs can be accommodated. In addition, most facilities require proof of rabies, distemper, bordatella and/or canine influenza vaccination, a negative fecal test result, and may require that your pet be current on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. The facilities listed above can address any questions or concerns you may have.

Dr. Jeffrey D. Palmer, DVM is a partnering veterinarian of the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, the largest and most comprehensive observational study ever attempted in veterinary medicine in the U.S. The Study’s researchers are working to identify the factors associated with the development of cancer and other major diseases in golden retrievers.
