🧐 Does your pet ever stay with a doggy daycare or pet sitter? Do you ever worry about the "what if" scenarios - do you have a plan in place if your pet were to need veterinary care while you were away?

💪 We're here to help! Download our free pet sitting templates below to ensure you've covered all your bases and have a plan in place. We hope you never need to worry about your pet needing care while you are away, but it's something we experience often on the medical side. Some things you can do to help include:

🐾 Ensure your pet had a wellness exam within the last 12 months for an active VCPR, a veterinary-client-patient-relationship; This 12 month timeline is required by the state of Florida for us to prescribe medications.

🐾 Designate an emergency contact and authorize them to make decisions for your pet's care if you cannot be reached.

🐾 Familiarize your pet sitter with our location, contact & hours - if we have an active VCPR with your family & pet, we can often bridge any gaps for your pet sitter!

🐾 Locate and map out the nearest ER so your pet sitter knows who to use for after-hours emergencies - call us if you need recommendations.

🐾 If your pet has a medical history, make sure you review it in detail with your pet sitter & communicate a plan for any flare-ups.

Don't hesitate to call us with any questions or concerns, or if we can help you come up with a custom care plan for your pet!

🩺 Veterinarians play an important part in world health through the prevention of zoonotic disease - disease that can be spread from animal to human.

🩺 As pet owners, you can play an active role in preventing zoonotic disease in your own pets through routine prevention and wellness visits!

🩺 A few examples of zoonotic disease we aim to prevent at PGA Animal Clinic include: Hookworms, Leptospirosis & Rabies.

🌎🐾🌍🐈🌏🐕🌎🐾🌍

💩 Hookworms - Common in puppies and pets not current on prevention, the larvae passed in f***s can infect people when contacted through unprotected skin! We recommend getting a f***l screening test on your pet at least once a year, plus always keeping them up to date on prevention like NexGard Plus!

💧 Leptospirosis - Caused by a bacteria spread through the urine of infected animals, particularly our FL wildlife like raccoons, rats, etc. Humans can then become infected from their own dog's urine. Our pets can become infected from water sources, even in more suburban areas like the standing water at the end of a driveway. While there are many strains of Lepto worldwide, a simple once yearly vaccine can help protect your dog from this potentially deadly disease. We recommend discussing with our medical team to see if your dog has increased risk factors and should be vaccinated against Lepto.

💉 Rabies - A preventable, but fatal viral disease that is spread through the saliva of an infected animal. Rabies is a core vaccine for both cats and dogs, and due to the major world health implications we take Rabies vaccine recommendations very seriously! Most adult cats/dogs are candidates for a 3 year Rabies vaccine (only have to vaccinate once every 3 years), which ensures they are still fully protected while also getting the benefit of minimal vaccine visits to the vet! If you are unsure if your pet is up to date on rabies, please give us a call today at 561-626-5020!
