Going out of town to spend Thanksgiving with the in-laws?

and exercise, cats enjoy as much — or as little — attention as they want, and you can rest assured knowing your pet is receiving proper care. Town & Country Vet Clinic is proud to offer reliable pet boarding to make sure your pets are well cared for during your trip. We provide your cat or dog with a comfortable “home away from home” where they will be safe while you’re away. Our trained veterinary team is on-site to care for your pet during their entire stay, and we’re ready to accommodate any special care or needs your pet has. We provide high-quality food and treats, but feel free to bring your own. If your pet has favorite toys or other washable personal items that will make their stay more comfortable, those are welcome, too. Call 817.380.3935 to learn more about boarding pets with your veterinarian and make your reservations today.

Planning a tropical getaway over winter break?

If your holidays are full of travel, don’t wait until the last minute to make a plan for your pets. Some families are fortunate to have a close friend who can stay at their home and watch over their fur babies, but hiring a pet sitter isn’t the best option for everyone. Dogs and cats alike need routine. Having their family gone for a long period of time and being fed by a stranger twice a day can cause a great deal of stress for some pets. Being left alone can lead to behavioral problems, including vocalization or destructive tendencies. For many families, boarding their pets is a safer alternative to hiring a pet sitter. With pet boarding, dogs enjoy plenty of safe play
