Dr. Boyd's Pet Resort & Veterinary Center Announces Grand Opening of New State-of-the-Art Facility in Irvine

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 15, 2014) - "Everyone deserves a vacation, including pets!" That's the idea and inspiration behind Dr. Boyd's Pet Resort, an all-inclusive grooming, daycare, veterinary, training and boarding facility now open in Irvine, Calif.

Pioneering a revolutionary new concept of veterinary "hospital-ity," Dr. Boyd's opened its flagship facility in San Diego in 2011 to reflect the vision of its founder, Dr. John Boyd, who early in his career realized a disconnect between what humans thought their pets needed and what animals actually wanted. Using his intuition and expertise, Dr. Boyd created his own distinctive brand to build a facility that truly nurtures the nature of dogs. As Dr. Boyd's continues to expand its brand of veterinary specialty and hospitality services to Orange County, pets and their families can count on passionate, friendly and experienced professionals to provide the highest standards of excellence and cutting-edge technology at costs they can afford.

"Whether it's just for a few hours or a few days, leaving your pet -- particularly during the holidays -- can be very stressful," says Boyd. "We are thrilled to bring our first-of-its-kind concept to a community that loves pets almost as much as we love caring for them."

Orange County does, indeed, love its pets. According to a 2013-2014 National Pet Owners Survey released by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), Irvine ranks number two in pet health and wellbeing and among the top five pet-friendliest cities in the U.S., with nearly half of every household owning a dog or a cat.

Enthusiastically referred to as the Mayo Clinic of animal care, the Super Nanny of dog sitters, the Emily Post of animal etiquette, and the Biltmore of pet boarding, Dr. Boyd's alternative and holistic approach to caring for pets is dramatically shifting the paradigm of traditional stereotypes, from bare-bones clinics and fenced kennels to state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor spaces where dogs and cats come to heal and stay to play.

Dr. Boyd's is open around the clock every day of the year and staffed by board-certified veterinarians, specialists and trained professionals who genuinely understand how dogs and other animals communicate and recognize their need to socialize -- and heal -- in a safe, clean, comfortable, happy and playful environment.

In addition to offering "play-cations" for pets and compassionate recovery care for those needing special medical attention, Dr. Boyd's provides priceless peace of mind for their families. From the custom flooring to the air they breathe, a day in the life of a dog at Dr. Boyd's is a unique experience invoking anticipation and excitement, rather than the fear and trepidation most often associated with a trip to the vet. Whether stopping by for a quick haircut or hanging out for an extended stay, Dr. Boyd's delivers the very best in caring for the health and wellbeing of pets -- and their families.
