Planning to board your dog at Dunedin Animal Medical Center? We want their stay to feel safe, familiar, and stress-free. Here’s a quick checklist to help you prepare and ensure your pup has everything they need.

✔️ Vaccination Records

For everyone’s safety, all dogs must be up to date on:

  • Rabies
  • Distemper/Parvo (DHPP)
  • Bordetella
  • Canine Influenza

If your dog receives care at DAMC, we already have this on file.

✔️ Your Dog’s Regular Food

A sudden change in diet can upset your dog’s stomach.
Please bring:

  • Enough food for the full stay (plus a little extra)
  • Clear feeding instructions (amount + frequency)
  • Treats allowed for your pet

✔️ Medications & Supplements

If your dog takes any daily medications:

  • Bring them in their original containers
  • Include written instructions
  • Let our team know about timing and special requirements

✔️ Comfort Items From Home

Familiar scents help dogs settle in quickly. Consider bringing:

  • A favorite blanket or small bedding item
  • Their preferred toy (non-destructible items only)

✔️ Leash & Collar

Even if you normally use a harness, bring:

  • A well-fitting collar
  • A sturdy leash for drop-off and pick-up

✔️ Emergency Contact Information

Please provide:

  • Your preferred local contact
  • Your best phone number while traveling
  • Any special notes about your dog’s behavior or health

That’s It — We’ll Take Care of the Rest

At DAMC, your dog gets plenty of attention, clean accommodations, monitored playtime, and care from a veterinary-supervised team.
