The pet care center may offer adoption services or rescue services for dogs, cats and other pets that are abandoned, lost or turned into the rescue because the owners can no longer care for the pet. Often these programs are funded through grants and contributions from private individuals.

If you are boarding your pet at a pet care center ask about vaccinations and treatments for kennel cough for dogs and respiratory infections for cats. If all pets have to be treated, there is much less chance of your pet contacting some type of infectious disease.

If the center includes a pet supply shop it may be possible to order in specialty items for your pets. These can include special types of bedding for senior pets, new types of toys and even new diets and food programs for pets with special needs.
