Our In-patient Department (IPD) operates with a very limited capacity. Currently, we can accommodate only 24 dogs and 6 cats for IPD. Our IPD is usually full of dogs and cats sent to us by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) team in response to citizen complaints, such as accidents, injuries, or illnesses. Consequently, our IPD is often at full capacity, leaving us unable to promptly admit animals brought in by rescuers or volunteers.
We deeply empathize with the plight of these stray animals and the individuals trying to help them. It saddens us to see a long queue of requests for IPD kennels, knowing that we are unable to accommodate more animals in need. In our efforts to address this issue, we have reached out to various companies, seeking support through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding to expand the capacity of our IPD. We are hopeful that someone will help us in this endeavor.
IPD charges are INR 5,000 for a 1-month stay for a dog or cat for treatment and it includes their food, stay, and treatment costs.
Diagnostics and Hematology costs are extra – we provide these services at very reasonable rates to support the welfare of stray animals. The admission payment has to be transferred on the admission day itself. Our staff will explain the admission procedure when you bring the stray dog or cat for admission to BCS. Please note admission is given only through email confirmation sent via [email protected]
Please do not walk in with a dog or cat for IPD admission as we are usually almost full and you will have to go back disappointed!

For sick or injured dogs and cats, hospitalization is imperative for the healing process as it provides vital medical care that is not possible in any other environment.
In a hospital, they receive immediate medical assistance and round-the-clock monitoring, which is essential for stabilizing their health, controlling discomfort, and averting complications.
In a hospital you have immediate access to critical care, including IV fluids, medication, and nutrition, given under careful observation. For illnesses that can quickly worsen or are complex this controlled setting allows necessary adjustments to therapies based on the animal’s reactions.
It provides access to medical supplies and diagnostic equipment enabling precise examinations and continuous assessments. The controlled environment of a hospital also minimizes stress for injured or ill pets, as they are kept in quiet, comfortable, and controlled spaces designed to aid recovery. Additionally, the presence of skilled veterinary professionals ensures that any signs of distress or complication are swiftly identified and addressed.
Overall, hospitals play a critical role in treating severe medical conditions in animals and significantly increasing their prospects of recovery.
All pet owners, volunteers, and caregivers of stray dogs and cats must understand the significance of prompt medical intervention and hospitalization. Early and timely intervention can make all the difference in their health and well-being. Whether it’s an obvious behavioral change, injury indicators, or disease symptoms, responding quickly can help avoid problems and improve health outcomes.
If your cat or dog doesn’t seem to be okay, don’t hesitate to get professional help, as it may need specialized trained professionals and equipment that are accessible only in a medical setting. Hospitalization may seem overwhelming, but it’s necessary to provide pets or stray animals with critical care when they require it.
Your proactiveness can save the lives of these animals and greatly improve their quality of life.
