Welcome to Lakeside Animal Inn located on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee in the Lakes Region of NH. At Lakeside Animal Inn at Lakes Region Veterinary Hospital, we strive to provide compassion and excellence in animal care. Here is brief summary of what to expect when your family member stays with us …

How is my animal cared for?

We strive to provide the highest quality care possible for all the animals in our hospital, including our boarders at Lakeside Animal Inn. We provide clean, spacious and comfortable accommodations for both cats and dogs. Our kennel staff is overseen by our hospital’s veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

DOGS
The dogs stay in large indoor runs (3’6” X 6’) and are walked by leash outside at least 3 times daily. The runs are heated, air-conditioned and have overhead lights on timers to mimic normal day/night light conditions. The dogs are fed and watered two times daily, unless instructed otherwise. They are supplied with plenty of bedding and kennel decks are installed in each run. We also clean sterilize our own feeding bowls.

CATS
The cats stay in cozy kitty condos that are equipped with lounging shelves. Two kitty condos can be linked together to form one big condo for two cats, by opening a small connecting door. Each cat is supplied with a new litter box every time his or her box is soiled. The cats are fed and watered two times daily, unless instructed otherwise. Our guests are also supplied with comfy bedding every day.

What other services are offered by your facility for boarding animals?

Animals that are boarding at a veterinary hospital have many advantages not available to those boarding at a kennel. This is especially true of the animals boarding at Lakeside Animal Inn. Our staff is highly trained to look for any signs of illness in the animals boarding at our hospital and to notify a Doctor immediately should they notice anything abnormal. If your animal should show any signs of illness while boarding with us, a Doctor will examine him/her and perform any necessary treatments (at an additional charge). In addition, a Doctor can examine or immunize your animal (at an additional charge) for your convenience while he/she boards with us. If your animal is due for a routine surgery (i.e. spaying, neutering, dental cleaning), these procedures could also be done while your animal boards with us. Our main goal is to provide compassion and excellence in animal care. We strive to provide the highest quality medical and boarding care for all of the animals at Lakes Region Veterinary Hospital and Lakeside Animal Inn and to do so at the convenience of our clients.

What vaccinations should my animal be up to date on before boarding?

DOGS: Rabies, Distemper, and Kennel Cough Vaccines (Bordetella)

CATS: Rabies & Distemper vaccines

• If your animal is not a patient at our hospital, you will need to provide us with a copy of their medical records to verify that they are up to date on these vaccinations. If your animal is not current on these vaccinations, we will gladly update them for you in advance (at least 14 days) of their boarding stay.

• If your animal is not updated on its vaccinations or if you fail to provide us with copies of their medical records to verify a current vaccination status, then we will be unable to board them at our facility. This is for the health and protection of all the animals boarding at Lakeside Animal Inn.

What Items do you provide for my animal and what should I bring?

We Provide: Fleece bedding and blankets/towels (dogs & cats), kennel decks (dogs), sterilized bowls, litter boxes, toys & treats, leashes, and premium food (if none is provided by the owner).

Please do not bring: Beds, blankets, towels, bowls, kitty litter, litter boxes, cat carriers, dogs kennels, leashes or choke collars. We provide our own supplies for our guests so that you will not have to!
