Honolulu Full-Service Pet Resort and Hospital Celebrates 1-Year Anniversary

Alii Animal Hospital & Resort, Honolulu’s first pet resort and full-service animal hospital, is celebrating its one-year anniversary. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Joanna Cook and Matt Malta, Alii Animal Hospital & Resort is a first-of-its-kind animal hospital and resort with in-house pharmacy, x-rays, doggie daycare and spacious pet suites for overnight boarding. A few first-year milestones include 1,265 dogs and cats cared for and 1,093 happy pet families.

As an essential business and in response to the unique climate of Covid-19, Alii Animal adapted to government policies, following CDC guidelines to keep their team and clients safe. To ensure every pet was able to get the medical care they needed, Alii Animal offered discounted emergency care, urgent care and pet exams. Alii Animal will continue to support the local community through various measures established during the pandemic, including maintaining their $31 pet exam.

Cook, veterinarian-owner and Punahou graduate, understood the need to adapt during the pandemic to continue to provide Honolulu’s pets with the best veterinary care possible. “We wanted our pet parents to be able to get their pets treatment without hesitation,” she said.

Born and raised in Kailua, Malta, owner and resort director, said, “Our doggie daycare gives pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are well-cared for when they are working long hours or just need to quiet time while working from home.”
