Pet Boarding at Startz Veterinary in Canyon Lake, TX

Safe, Clean, and Attentive Pet Boarding

Leaving a pet behind can be stressful, but knowing they are under professional care can bring peace of mind. At Startz Veterinary, each boarder is supervised by trained staff and has access to veterinary care in case of emergencies during their stay.

Every Pet Boarding Stay Includes

• Indoor accommodations with climate control
• Clean bedding, food bowls, and Purina Science Diet meals (although we strongly recommend you provide your pet’s own food)
• Medication administration by trained staff
• Multiple daily wellness checks and cleanups

We also welcome special care instructions to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained.

Dog Boarding Services

Our dog boarding services are designed to provide structure and comfort for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Dogs have one on one time outside with a trained staff member at least twice daily, and more often upon request. We focus on cleanliness, routine, and attentive care throughout your dog’s stay.

Each dog boarding guest receives:

• Spacious indoor kennel space
• Soft bedding and blankets
• Regular outdoor playtime and stretch breaks
• Personalized feeding schedules
• Staff monitoring throughout the day

If your dog is on medication or has specific needs, our team is trained to follow your instructions carefully.

Cat Boarding Services

Our cat boarding area is quiet and separate from dog boarding to reduce stress and promote calm behavior. Each feline guest has their own enclosure, complete with fresh bedding, litter box maintenance, and feeding according to their normal routine.

Cat boarding guests enjoy:

• A clean, quiet boarding space away from dogs
• Individual attention from our staff
• Daily litter box cleaning
• Fresh water and Purina Science Diet meals provided (although we strongly recommend you provide your pet’s own food)
• Monitoring for behavior, appetite, and general comfort

If your cat prefers a specific diet or has a unique routine, we encourage you to bring detailed instructions with your check-in materials.

Requirements for Pet Boarding

To help ensure the health and safety of all pets in our care, we require the following prior to your pet’s boarding stay:

• All pets must have an established client-patient relationship with us, meaning they have completed their Preventative Care Exam with one of our doctors within the last 12 months
• Proof of current vaccinations
• Dogs: Rabies, DA2PP, Leptospirosis, Bordetella
• Cats: Rabies, FVRCP

• All new or first-time boarders will be required to schedule and complete our Behavioral Boarding Assessment, to ensure they are a good fit for our kennels and staff. This is a one-time test and is pass/fail. There is an associated cost per pet.
• All pets must be free of external parasites (fleas and ticks)
• Any necessary medications should be clearly labeled and accompanied by written instructions
• Owners are encouraged to bring familiar items (blankets, toys, food) if desired

Please allow time for a brief check-in process during drop-off to review your pet’s needs.
