A veterinary hospital manager in Nanjing showed me her problem two years ago. Sixty percent medical cases, forty percent boarding — but the ratio shifted unpredictably. Holiday weeks: boarding spiked. Surgery weeks: hospitalization spiked. She had a boarding wing with nice big kennels that sat half-empty during surgery weeks, and a medical wing with tight ICU cages that overflowed during boarding weeks. The space was fixed. Demand kept shifting. She needed housing that could be either thing.
The PC10 is a hybrid boarding and hospitalization cage with a modular divider system. Each compartment pair has a removable center wall on sliding tracks. Divider in: two separate compartments sized for medical recovery — close monitoring, limited movement, easy access. Divider out: one large compartment sized for boarding — room to stand, turn, stretch for extended stays. Conversion takes one person about ninety seconds: pull retaining pins, slide divider out, store on the back rail.
The floor system is wet/dry convertible. Each section has a removable stainless drain tray underneath a solid walking surface. Hospitalization mode: remove the walking surface, use the drain tray — hose-down between patients, waste drains to a central channel. Boarding mode: install the walking surface — dry flat floor, spot-clean with spray and towels. Walking surface panels store on a bracket at the back when not in use.
304 stainless frame, fully welded, floor-anchored with the same brackets as the P9. At about one hundred eighty kilograms assembled, the unit doesn’t shift when a large dog leans against the door, but two people can reposition it with a pallet jack.
Dual-mode door latches. Hospitalization: standard two-point slide bolt. Boarding: optional secondary catch allows latching from inside the compartment — useful for staff entering for cleaning or socialization without letting the dog out. An inside latch point means you can secure the door behind you from inside the kennel, safer than reaching back for an external-only latch while a dog gets underfoot.
Passive ventilation via slotted panels top and bottom on each wall creating a convection current. Divider in: each sub-compartment gets its own slots. Divider out: combined compartment gets double the airflow.
The PC10 is a capital equipment purchase for hospitals that need housing to flex between medical and boarding demand. If your caseload is consistent, buy dedicated cages — you’ll save money and specialization is better for patients. But if your ward utilization graph looks like a sine wave cycling between boarding peaks and surgery peaks, the PC10 turns one set of cages into both. Send me your monthly utilization data and I’ll model the floor plan.
