VCA Avondale Pet Resort

VCA Avondale Resort....So Much More Than a Kennel!

VCA Avondale Pet Resort provides your pet with the ultimate in Pet Boarding, Doggy Day Care, and Pet Grooming. Avondale's Pet Resort offers first class boarding for your dog or cat and is one of only a few pet boarding facilities in Des Moines, Iowa to have earned PCSA accreditation for kennels.

The Pet Care Services Association's seal of approval means that the VCA Avondale Pet Resort has met over 200 detailed requirements representing state-of- the-art animal care and management for all of your pet's boarding care needs.

VCA Avondale Veterinary Hospital has provided quality boarding since 1997. We believe pets deserve the same royal treatment their vacationing owners get!

We feature 40-square foot Vacation Suites, six of which have a window view. The suites have a television, heated floors and a ledge where pets can perch while perusing outside activity. Suite dwellers are entitled to a one-on-one play time with a staff member along with three walks per day.

Our traditional kennels, which are 18 or 24 square-foot, come with heated floors, night lights and privacy dividers. Walks are provided three times a day and one-on-one playtimes are available for an additional fee.

There is a waterfall in our atrium which provides a natural, calming water sound for the dogs. Guests will also hear soft, piped-in music.

Boarding guests have the opportunity to purchase Doggy Day Care packages and/or be pampered by our professional groomers!

Our feline guests are housed on the opposite side of our building from the canine boarding area to ensure peace and quiet. Each cat condo is divided into three sections so our guests have a separate spot for resting, feeding and litter box. A playroom with a tree to climb on is available for an additional charge.
