Cat Boarding & Doggy Day Care

A calm, caring place for your cat or small dog while you’re away.

Leaving your furry friend can be stressful — for both of you. That’s why our  boarding facilities are designed to feel secure, clean, and calm, with daily attention from experienced vet nurses who truly know cats and dogs. Whether it’s just for a weekend or a longer stay, you can relax knowing they’re safe and well looked after.

Why Choose Mosman Vet for Boarding?

Unlike more generalised pet boarding facilities, our accommodation is located within the veterinary hospital, with quiet, climate-controlled housing and a team that monitors your pet’s health and comfort every day. If anything goes wrong while you’re away, they’re already in the right place.

This is especially valuable for older cats, pets with medical needs, or anxious animals who don’t cope well with noise and disruption.

Booking Requirements

We require all boarding cats to be fully vaccinated with an F3 vaccine. If your cat is due for a booster, we can arrange this prior to their stay. Space is limited, especially during holiday periods, so early booking is recommended.

FAQs

Here are some common questions about senior pet care and our recommendations.

What age is considered ‘senior’?

Typically, pets are considered senior around 7 years old. However, this can vary based on breed and size. Larger breeds may age faster than smaller ones.

Should senior pets visit the vet more than once a year?

Yes, we recommend checkups every six months for senior pets. This allows us to monitor their health closely. Regular visits can help catch any issues early.

What tests might be recommended?

We may suggest blood and urine tests to assess overall health. Blood pressure checks and imaging can also be beneficial if concerns arise. These proactive measures help ensure your pet's well-being.

Can you help with arthritis and stiffness?

Absolutely, we provide various treatments for arthritis and stiffness. Options include medication, supplements, and movement support. Our goal is to enhance your pet's comfort and mobility.
