Our dedicated team is committed to making your pet’s stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, treating them with the same care and affection as our own.
Ensuring a Safe and Comfortable Environment
At Towne South Animal Hospital, your pet’s safety and well-being are paramount. Our boarding facilities are equipped with advanced monitoring systems, including 24-hour remote surveillance for smoke, fire, and security. We also implement temperature and carbon monoxide sensing to guarantee a secure and comfortable environment for all our guests. As a veterinary hospital, we have a veterinarian on call, providing an added layer of reassurance. We encourage potential clients to visit our facilities for a tour any weekday after 10 am to experience our welcoming atmosphere firsthand.
To further enhance your pet’s comfort during their stay, we welcome you to bring along their favorite treats, toys, and bedding. This familiarization can significantly reduce any potential anxiety and make their “vacation” feel more like home.
