TruVet is THRILLED to announce that we are live on MyBalto with the TruAngel Fund!
We know that veterinary care can be expensive to pursue, and we want to help. That’s why TruVet has partnered with the MyBalto Foundation in order to help as many patients as possible with the TruAngel Fund. This initiative aims to make emergency veterinary care possible for those who would otherwise have to make the impossibly hard decision not to seek medical attention for their pet, or more heartbreakingly still, surrender or euthanize a beloved family member.

Make a contribution, round up your purchase, or even start a GoFundMyPet to your socials to crowdsource friends to help fund your own pet’s veterinary care, and let our wonderful community take care of the rest. Contributions will go directly into a fund to be used explicitly for those extreme cases of need, or the specific pet a donor has listed it for. Scan the QR code or click the link in our bio to make your contribution today! Together, we can make a difference, one pet’s care at a time. Will you be our first donor?

Our 4th of July crew really brought out the Red, White and TRU! Looking good guys!

We hope you all had a safe holiday and that your pets got all of the extra snuggles and comfort!

Don't let fireworks fizzle your pet's fun this year! July is here, along with all the summertime activities. Barbecuing, beach days, and brightest (and loudest) of all, the 4th of July, summer offers endless opportunities for fun in the sun and sprawling under the stars.🎊

While some may be unbothered by fireworks in general, many pets may shake or otherwise act alarmed, finding the nearest table or other piece of furniture to hide under. The ASPCA recommends a few different options to help your pet stay mellow until the evenings festivities have concluded.

*An anxiety vest or other tight fitting shirt
* Playing soft, calming music for your pet
* A Kong or other time consuming activity that requires their attention
* Giving pet the option of an inner room with no windows
* In extreme cases, consult with your Regular Veterinarian to explore whether medication may be necessary to help Fido stay chill through the lights and sound display.

Be sure to offer your pet comfort when and if they need. While Fourth of July can be a fun and festive time for us humans, oftentimes our beloved pets may not understand what is going on.

These and many more recommendations can be found at the ASPCA's website under Fourth of July Preparedness.

🐕 When it comes to emergencies, we’re not just going for gold—we’re aiming for ‘pawsitively’ perfect care every time! 🥇🐕 Along with emergency response, we are also firm advocates in emergency prevention, and preparedness. In case you don't know where to start with a pet evac/emergency plan, take a look at these helpful tips to get your emergency readiness in First Place! (Provided by ready.gov/pets and redcross.org)
🐾Food (@ least one week's worth), drinking water, litter with pans, and a can opener if your pet eats wet food.
🐾Sturdy leashes, harnesses and/or carriers to safely transport pets- ensure that they can't escape during transit.
🐾Medical records and medicine (stored in a waterproof container), along with a list of emergency contacts for your pet.
🐾Current photos of you and your pet in the event they become lost.
🐾Double check your microchip record is up to date and that you have the number on hand.
🐾A first aid kit (may include gauze, bandage, topical ointment, muzzle, tweezers, a list of emergency vet hospitals, etc.) Speak with your veterinarian on what your pet's kit should include. More can be found at the link below.
🐾Ensure that pets are microchipped and wearing collars with up-to-date identification tags, including your cell phone number.
🐾A trusted family member or friend to act as backup if you are unable to bring them with you (ideally someone who knows your pet's medicine and feeding schedules).
🐾Make sure to have an evacuation plan in place with several options for how you and your pets will transition. Many hotels and shelters do not allow pets other than service animals, and it's important to know where you and your four legged loved ones have a safe space to stay.

Awareness is the first step to preparedness, and we hope this was a helpful start to your journey!
