Raeford Animal Hospital, located in Raeford, NC, provides safe and comfortable pet boarding for dogs and cats so you can travel with complete peace of mind. We are a 100% locally owned, full-service animal hospital and pet resort, and our boarding guests receive the same attentive, caring environment we bring to every part of our practice. Call us at (910) 479-3346 to reserve your pet's stay.

Boarding at a Veterinary Facility You Can Trust

Leaving your pet behind is never easy. When you board at Raeford Animal Hospital, your dog or cat stays in the care of a medical team that already knows how to respond if something comes up. That combination of veterinary oversight and warm, attentive daily care sets us apart from traditional kennels.

Our facility is designed to keep pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free during their stay. Because we are locally owned by Jared and his wife, whose family has deep roots right here in the Raeford community, we treat every pet like a neighbor's—because they usually are.

Pairing Boarding With Grooming or a Wellness Visit

One of the biggest advantages of boarding with a full-service veterinary hospital is convenience. We offer professional grooming and bathing services, preventive care, and vaccinations all under one roof. If your pet is due for a checkup or a bath, we can take care of it during their stay so you come home to a healthy, clean companion.

We also offer P.A.W. Wellness Plans to help make routine care more affordable throughout the year. Ask our team about plan options when you book your boarding reservation.
