When you have to travel, leaving your furry best friend behind can be stressful. At Animal Care Center of Tupelo, you can travel with absolute peace of mind, knowing your pet is in safe, loving, and experienced veterinary hands. Our dedicated boarding facility is meticulously designed to provide a clean, comfortable, and caring home-away-from-home for your pets while you’re away.

What’s Included in Your Pet’s Stay

We go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and entirely comfortable during their vacation with us. Every standard boarding stay includes:

  • Optional Add-On: Doggy Daycare: You can seamlessly add doggy daycare to your pet's boarding reservation! This provides your pup with extra supervised playtime, exercise, and socialization, ensuring they are happily tired out by the end of the day.
