Hurricane-Safe Facility

Designed with South Florida Weather in Mind

Living in South Florida means being prepared for severe weather. At Country Inn Pet Resort & Animal Hospital, hurricane and storm preparedness has been an important part of our facility design and operations from the beginning.

Our facility was thoughtfully built with features designed to help us continue caring for the pets staying with us during hurricanes, power outages, and other severe weather events.

When a storm approaches, our team follows established preparedness procedures, and trained staff remain on-site to care for our boarding guests throughout the storm.

Built for Safety & Preparedness

Our facility includes several features that help us prepare for severe weather:

Three Backup Generators

Our facility is equipped with three large generators capable of supporting operations during an extended power outage. With a full fuel supply, our generators can operate for approximately 10 days before refueling is needed.

Hurricane Impact Windows & Doors

Impact-rated windows and doors provide additional protection throughout the facility during severe weather.

Built to Hurricane Code

Our facility was constructed to meet applicable hurricane building requirements, with safety and structural protection incorporated into its design.

Backup Electrical & Air-Conditioning Systems

Redundant electrical and air-conditioning systems provide additional backup should one system experience an interruption.

Reinforced Doggy Door Protection

During severe weather, high-strength aluminum covers are placed over our doggy doors for additional protection.

12-Foot Solid Concrete Perimeter Wall

A solid concrete wall surrounds the facility and provides an additional barrier against wind and flying debris.

Fresh Water Stored On-Site

We can prepare and store up to 1,200 gallons of fresh water on-site as part of our storm preparations.

On-Site Team Members

Our property manager lives on the premises, and members of our veterinary and pet care teams remain on-site during hurricanes to care for our guests.

Indoor Exercise Areas

When outdoor conditions are unsafe, dogs can continue to receive scheduled breaks and activity in our indoor play areas.

Additional Water Management Systems

Our property is equipped with an underground water pump system to assist with water management during heavy rainfall and severe weather.

Caring for Our Guests Throughout the Storm

Our responsibility doesn’t stop when the weather gets bad.

During a hurricane, our team remains focused on maintaining each pet’s care as safely as conditions allow. Boarding guests continue to receive meals, medications, fresh water, cleaning, monitoring, attention, and scheduled bathroom and activity breaks in our protected indoor areas.

Having our Pet Resort and Animal Hospital together under one roof also means our veterinary team and hospital resources are located on-site.

Hurricane Boarding & Severe Weather

When a hurricane, tropical storm, or severe weather event may affect our area, we understand that plans can change quickly. If you think you may need to board your pet during a storm or evacuation, we encourage you to contact our Pet Resort team as soon as possible.

Availability may become limited as a storm approaches, and additional reservation requirements or procedures may be put in place depending on the circumstances.

Our team is happy to answer questions about hurricane boarding, what to bring, medications, feeding instructions, and what to expect if your pet will be staying with us during a storm.
