Special Needs Menu
At Pets Country Club, we understand that some pets have unique needs. We encourage all clients to discuss any specific requirements your pet may have, so we can provide the best possible care during their stay. Our team is committed to accommodating reasonable requests to ensure your pet's stay with us is as happy and comfortable as possible. Below is a sample of the types of special needs we cater to.
Please note: Due to the specialised monitoring required for diabetic pets, we are unable to accommodate them, as we cannot provide the continuous attention they need to remain safe and healthy. We recommend facilities that specialise in the dedicated care diabetic pets require.
Did you know that veterinarians consider large breeds of dogs 'aged' at 6 years old! They generally agree that by 7-10 years, all breeds of dogs are aged and by 11 years cats too should be treated as a senior pet.
If you take this information into account - once our pets reach 12 years of age, they may begin to experience some similar conditions to that of an 80-year-old human.
At Pets Country Club we realise that though they may appear to be in good health externally, sometimes their body can be showing more than their age internally. Therefore, it is a requirement that all pets aged 12 years and over are automatically placed into our Aged Care Program.
Our Aged Care clients have intensive monitoring and recording, as well as three Mini Yaps per day. This helps our team to recognise any subtle signs that an unwell senior may show and enable us to quickly take action to treat any ill health with the assistance of our Veterinarians.
Our Pet Attendants take records at key intervals of the day regarding the following:
-
Appetite
-
Fluid intake
-
Urine
-
Bowel movement
-
Body movement, and
-
Any medications/medical concerns (if applicable)
Also included in the price is the administration of any medication or special dietary meals that your pet requires.
If your pet requires numerous medications or has medical issues that need a little more attention while they are here, it may be beneficial to elect to join our Aged Care Program for greater peace of mind.
We trust your understanding in our interest to provide the best possible care to your pets while you are away. Pets Country Club advises against boarding guests who have a terminal illness and are in the late stages of that illness.
