Hurricane season is upon us.
Are you prepared for a hurricane evacuation?
Here is a checklist to help you be prepared with your pets this hurricane season.

🌀 EVC and other veterinary clinics are NOT open during mandatory evacuations!
🌪 During or after a hurricane if your pet is in a medical emergency, what will you do?

🌀 Is your pet on medications?
🌪 Ensure you have extra in the event of a hurricane, whether you evacuate or not. With power outages and road closures, it's unclear when veterinarians in the area could get medications back in clinic.

🌀 Please stay safe, listen to evacuation orders and stay prepared. Being prepared will keep you, your family and your pets safe.

🌞 Summertime is here, and it's HOT and so are our pets! 🌞

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
It's HOT out. EVC wants owners to remember our pet's natural temperatures are naturally higher (100°F -102.5°F) than our own (98.6°F), and they can't sweat to cool themselves. It does not take much for dogs to overheat in this warmer weather. Unfortunately, EVC and surrounding area clinics have seen too many pet deaths already this season due to heat related incidents.

Cold weather breeds such as Siberian Huskies, St Bernards and Alaskan Malamutes and Brachycephalic dogs such as English Bulldogs, Pugs and Boston Terriers and other like breeds should NEVER be outside for extended periods of time nor be running or playing in the heat of the day. These breeds should have light activity during summer months. They should be outside only in the mornings and late afternoons when it's cooler to prevent heat related injuries.

Learn the signs of heatstroke and how to prevent them.
Symptoms of overheating in pets can include:

💧Excessive panting
💧Difficulty breathing
💧Increased heart rate
💧Increased respiratory rate
💧Drooling
💧Weakness
💧Collapse
💧Seizure
💧Bloody Diarrhea
💧Vomiting
💧Elevated body temperature

👮NEVER leave your pet alone in a vehicle!
Even if it’s just for a minute and the windows are cracked, it could still be too hot for your pet. It's never safe to leave an animal in a parked vehicle alone. Leaving an animal in a hot car can lead to fatal heat stroke and it's illegal in several states.
