Pet Boarding in Shreveport, LA

Dog & Cat Boarding at Progressive Pet Hospital

Leaving your pet behind is never easy. Whether you are heading out of town for a few days or planning a longer trip, you want to know your dog or cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for by people who truly know them.

At Progressive Pet Hospital in Shreveport, LA, pet boarding feels less like a kennel and more like staying with a trusted medical team who already understands your pet’s health, personality, and needs. We are locally owned, community rooted, and led by our veterinarian, Dr. Julie Barnes, who believes great care starts with relationships.

If you are searching for pet boarding in Shreveport or near Bossier City, you are in the right place.

Why Choose Veterinary Boarding?

There is a big difference between a standard boarding facility and boarding inside a veterinary hospital.

When your pet stays with us, they are cared for by a trained veterinary team in a clean, climate-controlled environment. That means:

Daily observation by experienced staff

Access to our veterinarian during business hours

Safe medication administration if needed

Quick response if a medical concern arises

Separate boarding spaces for dogs and cats

For many families in Shreveport and Bossier City, that extra peace of mind makes all the difference. This is especially true for senior pets, anxious pets, or pets with ongoing health concerns.

We love pitties and pocket pups alike, and our independent feline friends too.

Dog Boarding in Shreveport, LA

Our dog boarding services are designed to keep your pup comfortable and cared for while you are away.

Boarding dogs enjoy:

Comfortable, secure accommodations

Regular potty breaks and daily interaction

Clean bedding and fresh water

Feeding based on their normal routine

Medication administration if prescribed

We recommend bringing your dog’s regular food to prevent stomach upset. If your dog requires oral medication, injections, or even insulin, our trained team can administer it safely.

Vaccination Requirements for Dogs

To protect all pets staying with us, dogs must be current on:

Rabies

DHPP

Bordetella

If you are unsure about your dog’s vaccine status, we are happy to check your records or schedule an update before their stay. Preventive care is one of the best ways to keep our boarding environment healthy for everyone.

Cat Boarding in Shreveport, LA

Cats deserve a calm, quiet space away from barking dogs. Our cat boarding area is separate to help reduce stress and provide a peaceful environment.

Boarding cats receive:

Cozy resting areas

Clean litter boxes maintained daily

Individual feeding schedules

Gentle monitoring by our veterinary team

Some cats settle in quickly. Others take a little time. We meet them where they are and adjust our approach to help them feel safe.

Vaccination Requirements for Cats

Cats staying with us must be current on:

Rabies

FVRCP

If your cat is due for vaccines, we can update them prior to boarding. Regular veterinary checkups help ensure your cat stays healthy long after their visit with us.

Medical Pet Boarding in Shreveport

Some pets need a little extra attention. That is where medical pet boarding can make a meaningful difference.

Medical boarding is ideal for:

Pets recovering from surgery

Diabetic pets needing insulin

Seniors with chronic conditions

Pets on multiple medications

Pets requiring close monitoring

Because boarding takes place within our hospital, our veterinarian and team can closely observe appetite, comfort level, and overall health. If something changes, we can respond quickly.

For families in Shreveport, Bossier City, Ellerbe Road, and Forbing, medical pet boarding offers reassurance that your pet is in experienced hands. It also allows us to continue a preventive-first approach, even while you are away.

If you are unsure whether your pet needs medical boarding, contact us. We are happy to talk through your pet’s needs and build a plan that works for your family.

What to Bring for Your Pet’s Stay

Their regular food

Any medications with instructions

A small comfort item if desired

Clear labeling helps us keep everything organized and consistent.
