Deja vu, anyone? We can expect impacts from Milton affecting our community and again our schedule unfortunately as many of our staff live in low-laying areas and will need to prepare accordingly to remain safe. Please call us today and tomorrow for any medication refills, microchipping or vaccination records requests if you plan to evacuate the area. Please stay safe!!

The bad comes with the good of living in our beautiful state of Florida. We have just a few days to prepare for yet another storm. Gather your supplies now, refill your meds now, collect your important documents and get your kits together today. We will be closing at the end of the week when the storm arrives to keep our own families and fur friends safe during what is expected to be quite an eventful storm as it passes through the area rather quickly. We hope to reopen as soon as we can, pending any power outages, road closures or flooding. We will keep you informed! Everyone stay safe!

Out of an abundance of caution for our staff living in and near flood prone areas, we have decided to close tomorrow August 5th. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes our patients. Everyone stay safe!

We've received a lot of incoming calls and questions regarding the respiratory disease in dogs. I'm attaching a link to what we know about this disease in our state. If your dog is exhibiting any respiratory symptoms, let us know as quickly as possible. We are taking extra precautions to reduce contact with patients that may have exposure. Try not to get caught up in the hype, but be aware that it is in our area and avoid other dogs with any respiratory symptoms if possible.

Well everybody, there is just no way around it. The storm is coming. The county is announcing closures for Wednesday and out of an abundance of caution and the inability to travel safely, our staff will also be hunkering down at home on Wednesday. Please call us today before 6 and absolute last call tomorrow for any medication refills before the storm arrives. We plan to reopen on Thursday pending no county curfews, power is on, and all staff members are able to travel the roads safely. Please call us on Thursday to confirm we have reopened if for any reason another post here has not been made. Everyone stay safe!

Another post for everyone to be prepared. We have a LOT of new clients in the area, most of us are used to hurricane season but many of your new neighbors are not. Here is a list to help guide those who are new or maybe need a refresher. If you haven't prepared yourself for this week, today is the day to get it done. Things sneak up fast. Even just a day of heavy rains can lead to flooding and power outages making life just a bit more difficult. But some low lying areas near the creek and river need to be extra prepared. Know your zones as well! Do you already know yours? The county will be updating with information soon for any shelters who allow pets if you are in an evacuation zone.

It's that time of year and things happen fast! Maybe a nothing-burger, maybe something more. Either way, please keep all your preparations up to speed for your pets in the event of hunkering down or evacuating. The current storm we are watching may arrive as early as Wednesday AM, if it is severe we will be closed for the safety of our staff and their families. This means please call us for any medication refills, records copies, microchip scans etc in preparation of the storms by MONDAY PM at the latest so we can get them completed for everyone by Tuesday PM. Thank you and be safe!!

As Nicole is already causing windy impacts to our area today, we will be closing early at 3PM to allow staff to arrive home safely and will be closed tomorrow as she passes closer by with more severe impacts. We currently plan to be open on Friday at this time, but please call to confirm we are open and with power before coming. Stay safe!

11/08/2022

Watching Nicole's forecast closely and listening to our local officials for guidance. Please be sure you have your plans finalized today. Be aware we may need to make adjustments to our schedule later in the week to keep our staff members safe as many live and travel through low lying areas prone to flooding. Stay safe!
