Pet Boarding in Dallas & McKinney
If you need to get away, why not? Rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands with our veterinary-supervised dog boarding, cat boarding, and exotic pet boarding services at both our Dallas and McKinney locations.
Boarding Supervised by Our Veterinary Team
We offer veterinary-supervised pet boarding at affordable rates at both Meadow Brook Animal Hospital and Preston Road Animal Hospital, for all the kinds of animals we treat. This includes dogs, cats, companion birds, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas, hedgehogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes, and other exotic pets.
Why Board With Us
If you’re like us, you may wish you could bring your pet on vacation, but some pets just don’t travel well, and others really shouldn’t travel at all, for the sake of their own health. In these cases, it’s often better for both you and your pet to rely on veterinary boarding rather than a pet sitter alone.
Keep Your Pet Safe: Pets left home alone can get into unusual, and sometimes dangerous, situations. Veterinary-supervised boarding gives you peace of mind knowing your pet is in a safe, secure environment under a veterinarian’s watch.
Maintain a Normal Diet: A pet sitter may only check in once or twice a day. Boarding with our team means your pet’s normal diet is maintained, with fresh food and water always available.
Maintain a Medical Protocol: Pets with health conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, or epilepsy may need regular medication, monitoring, or a stable routine that’s hard to maintain while traveling. We offer Medical Boarding for these special-needs pets, building in extra attention and time from our doctors and staff.
Get Exercise and Social Interaction: Pets left alone for days can become lonely and under-exercised. Boarding with us gives your pet more opportunities for activity and social interaction than they may get at home.
Cats and dogs are boarded in safe, comfortable kennels, and dogs receive personal playtime sessions daily with our staff.
Boarding at Meadow Brook Animal Hospital
Our McKinney location offers indoor, climate-controlled runs and stainless steel or masonry enclosures for dogs, with cats quartered separately in a similarly outfitted room. For safety, none of our dog runs have direct outdoor access, so instead, all dogs are walked twice daily. Meadow Brook also has a two-acre fenced yard with plenty of shade, which dogs seem to genuinely enjoy, along with the personal attention from our dog walkers. Extra walks and personalized playtime are available for a small additional cost.
Boarding at Preston Road Animal Hospital
Our Dallas location offers indoor, climate-controlled runs and spacious stainless steel or masonry enclosures for dogs, with cats quartered separately in a similarly outfitted room. We can also care for non-traditional pets, including companion birds, rabbits, ferrets, small mammals, and many reptiles. For safety, our dog runs don’t have direct outdoor access, and due to the size of our lot and its proximity to a busy freeway, outdoor dog walking isn’t feasible at this location. Instead, dogs boarded at Preston Road automatically receive a soft comfort cushion and at least one 10-minute personal playtime session daily with our kennel staff.
Whether your pet needs care for the day, overnight, or an extended stay, both our locations are prepared to provide the love, attention, and care they need to enjoy their stay.

Peace of Mind While You’re Away
Traveling is easier when you know your pet is somewhere familiar, safe, and supervised by people who already know their health history. Our veterinary-supervised boarding gives dogs, cats, and exotic pets alike the attention and monitoring that a standard kennel can’t always offer. Pet owners across the greater Dallas and McKinney area trust our team with their pets, whether it’s for a single night or an extended stay.
