MIDDLETOWN, N.Y., May 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ani-Mall Pet Hospital in Middletown, NY offers pet boarding and daycare services to area pets. The vet clinic provides separate, state-of-the-art climate-controlled accommodations for dogs and cats, complete with interactive toys and enclosed outdoor space for exercise. The boarding and daycare facility is connected to the main pet wellness hospital, which allows the veterinary team to immediately provide urgent care assistance should prompt medical attention be required.
Middletown veterinarian Dr. Michael Barra is encouraging pet owners to learn more about the benefits of pet boarding and daycare services. The animal hospital offers "Doggy Daycare" along with short-term boarding.
"Our goal is to create a safe, loving and compassionate environment for pets," said Dr. Michael Barra, veterinarian and owner of Ani-Mall Pet Hospital. "Our entire veterinary care team is dedicated to being your pet's 'home away from home' – whether your pet needs daycare services to let out energy or a safe place to stay while you go on vacation."
According to Dr. Barra, the vet clinic's "Doggy Daycare" service is especially popular with pet owners. The daycare staff is trained to provide constructive, engaging activities for dogs. The dogs are matched with others based on their size, age and energy level. The daycare staff provides exercise opportunities and can also assist with potty training for younger puppies.
"Doggy Daycare is one of our most popular services," said the puppy and kitten veterinarian. "For pet owners who work long hours, Doggy Daycare is a secure environment for active dogs to get out their energy and safely socialize with other dogs. After a day at our facility, pet owners can rest comfortably knowing there while they are at work, their pet will not be home along damaging the house or destroying furniture."
Dr. Barra said "Doggy Daycare" or a short, overnight boarding stay is also popular with pet owners who are hosting parties, large family gatherings, or other events that may cause stress or anxiety for a pet.
"Our animal hospital's daycare and boarding services are a great option for pet owners who are hosting a holiday party or having a large family gathering," said Dr. Barra. "Some pets can be overwhelmed by strangers in their house or too much noise. Our facility offers a safe, familiar environment where they can have fun with other pets, rather than being overwhelmed by party guests. This also ensures that pets do not accidentally eat something poisonous, like chocolate party treats."
