What Boarding and Grooming Services Are Available at Safari Veterinary Care Centers?

Updated

Safari Veterinary Care Centers in League City, TX offers two main pet care services beyond medical treatment: Camp Safari, a boarding kennel with doggy daycare, and full-service grooming. Both are available to established clients, and grooming clients receive priority holiday scheduling. If you need to board or groom your dog while keeping them at a veterinary facility with 24-hour emergency service for active patients, this is the relevant option.

Camp Safari Boarding Kennel

Camp Safari is the clinic's dog boarding facility. Based on the clinic's service description:

  • Temperature-controlled indoor kennel — dogs are housed indoors with climate control.
  • Outdoor runs and play areas — every dog is allowed outside play areas and runs.
  • Doggy Daycare — offered alongside boarding, so dogs can attend daytime play without an overnight stay.

The clinic also notes that groomers arrive early for boarded pets, meaning grooming can be scheduled during a boarding stay rather than as a separate trip.

Grooming Services

Safari offers full-service grooming. Two details from the clinic's own service description are worth noting:

  • Recommended grooming frequency: the clinic states your pet is groomed at least every 8 weeks, or 6 times a year.
  • Priority holiday scheduling: grooming clients get priority booking for Thanksgiving and other peak holidays.

Grooming Hours

Day Grooming Hours
Monday–Saturday 7 AM – 3 PM
Sunday 8 AM – 3 PM

Groomers arrive early for boarded pets being checked out on Sunday afternoon, so boarding clients can combine pickup with grooming.

Hours of Operation

The facility's general hours, which frame when boarding drop-off and pickup can happen:

Day Hours
Monday–Friday 6 AM – 8 PM
Saturday 9 AM – 6 PM
Sunday 9 AM – 6 PM

Appointments (for medical visits, not boarding/grooming) are seen Monday–Friday 9 AM–12 PM and 2 PM–7 PM, Wednesday 2 PM–7 PM, Saturday 9 AM–6 PM, and Sunday 10 AM–6 PM.

How to Arrange Boarding or Grooming

  1. Call the clinic at (281) 332-5612. This is the number listed for both general contact and pet emergencies.
  2. Confirm availability for your dates, especially around Thanksgiving and other holidays, when grooming clients have priority booking.
  3. Ask whether grooming can be added to a boarding stay so your dog is groomed before pickup rather than on a separate visit.
  4. Note the Sunday timing if you're picking up a boarded pet — groomers arrive early that afternoon.

What to Keep in Mind

  • Boarding is described for dogs (Camp Safari Dog Boarding Kennel, Doggy Daycare). The clinic's exotic and avian services are medical, not boarding, based on the available information.
  • 24-hour emergency service applies to active patients — a relevant factor if your pet boards at the facility and something goes wrong overnight.
  • Pricing is not listed on the pages reviewed. The clinic links to separate wellness plan pages (dog, cat, bird, reptile, rabbit, ferret, guinea pig, sugar glider, primates) for preventive care costs, but boarding and grooming rates aren't published there. Call to confirm current rates.
  • Grooming frequency guidance (every 8 weeks / 6 times a year) is the clinic's own recommendation, useful if you're deciding between occasional grooming and a standing schedule that also secures holiday priority.
