Whether you’re heading out of town or looking for a safe, loving place for your dog during the day, dog boarding at Lake Forest Animal Hospital in Forest, VA provides a fun, welcoming, and secure environment.
From playful pups to more reserved or medically sensitive dogs, our experienced team ensures every guest feels comfortable, cared for, and ready for adventure.
With indoor and outdoor spaces designed for exercise, enrichment, and relaxation, your dog will enjoy their stay as much as you enjoy peace of mind.

You’re welcome to bring your pet’s own bedding, food, and favorite toys. If you prefer, we’re happy to provide clean bedding and high-quality Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diet food.
For your convenience, drop-off and pick-up are available from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., seven days a week.
