If you need a safe and friendly place to leave your pets during the day or when you go out of town, bring them to Ross Bridge Animal Hospital. You can trust our compassionate pet lovers and qualified animal caretakers to care for your pets. We offer boarding and day care services to pet owners in Hoover, Homewood, Birmingham, Bessemer, and Shannon, Alabama. Your pets will enjoy a home away from home where we treat them like family.
At Ross Bridge Animal Hospital, we maintain separate boarding areas for dogs and cats. We ensure that each animal will have a pleasant, comfortable stay.
Our indoor climate controlled kennel houses both large and small dogs. We also have runs that will accommodate more than one of your compatible canines. Several times a day, each boarded dog has supervised outdoor time in our fenced-in yard. There, they can play and take care of business. Our day care provides either half days (4 hours of play) or full days (8 hours of play) to both day boarders and overnight boarders. Day care attendees get to socialize and play with other dogs as well as interact with our day care staff.
Our feline friends are kept in a separate, cozy environment away from the barking of our canine friends. We have special cat condos that give kitties access to multiple units so that they can explore. They also have a perch at the top of the condo for times when they want to rest or have down time.
We feed all kennel guests a specialized diet for GI health. However, we allow owners to bring their pets’ own food and treats from home. Our staff monitors the appetite and urination/bowel movements of each pet guest. If any health problems arise, we alert our veterinarian. We want your pets to be healthy and happy while they are in our care.
All dogs staying at Ross Bridge Animal Hospital must be current on rabies, distemper/parvo, canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines. We also highly recommend the leptospirosis vaccine. All boarding cats must be current on rabies, FVRCP, and bordetella vaccines. We also highly recommend the feline leukemia vaccine.
Because space in our boarding kennel can fill up quickly, we ask that you make reservations in advance, especially around the holidays. If you choose to have extra services done, such as bathing or grooming, while your pet is in our care, please let us know. We will do this at the time you schedule your appointment. Contact us at 205-208-0301 to plan your pet’s stay-cation, or for pricing information.
Our mission is to promote and facilitate pet health, wellness and comfort. We believe it is our responsibility to use the gifts given to us by God to ensure that the pets in our care achieve the highest quality of life possible. We will achieve this by providing up to date, and proven, medical and surgical procedures, putting in place a compassionate and knowledgeable support staff, and going above and beyond to ensure the pet, as well as the owner, is fully satisfied with the care we provide.
