Holiday travel is right around the corner, and so is the busiest time of year for dog boarding in Corpus Christi. If you’re heading out of town for Thanksgiving or Christmas, the best thing you can do for your dog (and your stress level) is lock in a boarding spot early.
At Frankie’s, dogs spend the day free in a real home on the Southside, not in a kennel, and sleep in their own kennels at night. That means space is limited, and holiday dates go fast.
Why holiday boarding fills up so fast
- Everyone travels the same weeks. Thanksgiving week and the stretch between Christmas and New Year’s are peak travel times.
- Home boarding has fewer spots. A home can only care for so many dogs at once, and that’s what keeps the care personal.
- Paperwork takes time. If your dog’s vaccine or spay/neuter records need updating, you’ll want a few weeks to get to the vet.
Your holiday boarding checklist
- Pick your dates. Include drop-off and pickup days. Drop-off hours are Monday–Friday, 10am–6pm, with weekends by appointment.
- Check vaccines and records. Frankie’s requires current rabies, distemper-parvo (DHPP) and Bordetella. Dogs 1 year or older must be spayed or neutered, and we ask for proof.
- Send a stay request. Use the stay request form or call or text (361) 400-9141. We’ll confirm availability.
- Book the free assessment. Every dog gets a complimentary initial assessment of about 20 to 30 minutes, so your dog is familiar with the place before the holiday rush.
- Pack the basics. Your dog’s regular food, any medications with instructions, and your vet’s contact info.
