Veterinary care

Vaccines and exams at the kennel

Chino's Caring Kennel partners with Yorba Linda Pet Care Center. Dr. Jatinder Dhanoa, DVM, is the partner veterinarian, and Ahide Calderon, RVT, gives walk-in vaccines at the kennel on Wednesdays and weekends, with Wednesday exams by appointment. If your pet is missing a required vaccine, it can be given here before the stay.

Required vaccinations

Written proof from your veterinarian is required for all pets' vaccines. All pets in our care must be on a flea and tick preventative.

Before check-in

  • Skip food for 4 hours before check-in. It reduces stress and the chance of an upset stomach.
  • Bring your dog on a leash and your cat in a carrier for drop-off and pickup.
  • Toys and treats are welcome during the stay and help your pet feel secure.
  • You are the expert on your pet. Tell us about any behaviors, conditions or concerns, medical, behavioral or safety, that could affect your pet's stay. The goal is a healthy, happy stay for your pet and peace of mind for you.

What pet owners say

The best pet groomers in the game!! After coming here, I will never go back to Petco and Petsmart. We’ve been coming here for years and they do the best job. Their groomers are super professional and have great technique. My senior dog is a feisty one and they are always so kind and efficient with fast service.
