Aeon Animal Hospitals

It’s the time of year when mosquitos and ticks are ready to make a tasty snack out of your dog or cat—but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That’s why until September 30, Aeon Pet’s three clinics in central Tokyo (Akasaka, Kameido and Shinonome) are offering a summer discount package that includes vaccinations, heart worm/flea/tick control and a health check with a blood test for early disease detection. Dogs are also due to receive their rabies shots by the end of June.  Aeon happily offers assistance for your pet in English—but please call for an appointment first so they can make sure an English-speaking doc is on hand when you get there. Aeon Pet provides reliable general and specialized care that ensures optimum health for your family’s best friend. A 24-hour emergency facility—fully equipped with CT and state-of-the-art surgical equipment—is available at the new Aeon Animal Medical Center located in Makuhari, Chiba.

Dog Inc.

Where’s your dog going to stay while you’re away on your summer vacation or hometown tour? It’s not always possible to bring your dog along with you, so what to do? Dog Inc. offers a play-while-you-stay doggie hotel, just like a “doggie camp.” Your precious one won’t be locked up in a crate all day, but will be free to run around to his or her heart’s content in the spacious indoor play court—one of the biggest in the Tokyo area—and also play with the staff and other doggie guests staying over. For the two or more walks included in the overnight fee, dogs are taken out to the open field by the Tamagawa River, a superb spot for outdoor exercise. Why not let your dog enjoy a stay at Dog Inc. while you enjoy your own getaway? With over 10 years’ experience and 10,000 clients, inquiries are welcome for issues like long stays, puppy stays, etc. Feel free to call or email just to visit and look around in advance.

  • Doggie Hotel: ¥4,000-7,000/night by dog size (Reduced rates for extended stays. Non-crate stays also available.)
