If we must provide these services, you will incur additional expenses in addition to your boarding
charges. Please allow extra time when dropping off and picking up your pet, as we verify your pet's
information. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS.
The following requirements must be met in order to board your pet at Northgate Animal Hospital:
