Ocotillo Animal Clinic & Pet Resort
Is someone present on the premises overnight?
Ocotillo Animal Clinic & Pet Resort takes the responsibility for the safety and care of your pet(s) very seriously. We do not have staff in the pet resort overnight; however, we maintain a clean, safe environment with an alarm system to ensure the safety of your family members.
What preventive care is required for boarding?
Specific requirements for preventative care are listed in Boarding Policies. The requirements are based on the age, species, and lifestyle of each pet. They have been developed to help us provide the best possible care and minimize the risk of problems for your pet(s).
Should I bring my own food?
Yes. We recommend you bring your pet's own food to reduce the chances of potential problems with feeding a brand new diet in a potentially unfamiliar environment.
Can I bring my toys and bedding for my pet?
We provide raised "cozy" cots. However, we also allow you to bring a blanket, bedding. and toys from home. We are not liable for damage to or loss of items you bring. We request that you put your name on the items if possible.
Does my pet require a bath on departure?
Yes, a bath is required for any dog boarding with us for 3 days or more. This is to ensure proper care and cleanliness. The applicable fees are:
$20 for dogs 44lbs and under
$40 for dogs 45lbs and up
Can I just drop my pet off and go?
No. You will need to meet with one of our trained boarding staff members. They will take a brief history of feeding schedules and medications (if any) so that we are able to provide the best possible care to your pet during his/her stay at our resort. Please allow 15-20 minutes for check-into boarding.
Can we keep our pets in the same suite?
Yes, but if they do need to be separated for feedings and/or they do not get along, you are required to get two rooms.
Do you have grooming?
Yes. We have two experienced groomers (one male and one female) on staff that will be happy to discuss the grooming services we provide Ocotillo Animal Clinic & Pet Resort with you.

Our Pet Resort has an air conditioning cooling system and separate vents and ducts for each "closed" suite.

At this time we are not going to offer playtime. We do offer one-on-one attention during the walks and optional, individual playtime to keep our family member stimulated and happy. Pets from the same house can be taken out together for walks and/or individual playtime as long as they get along well.
Do you board puppies, geriatric pets, and sick pets?

Can my pet get sick while boarding?
We will make every effort to keep our boarding, grooming, and hospital environment safe and clean. However, some pets may develop unfortunate, unpredictable problems such as respiratory infections, sore throat, or diarrhea during or after boarding. The staff will immediately attempt to contact the owner or agent to discuss the problem and treatment options, and initiate appropriate treatment if necessary.
