For the safety of our staff and our patients, we have closed early this afternoon to prepare for the storm. We will be CLOSED THURSDAY, and hope to be back open on Friday.
For the impending storm, make sure your pets have identification. Check all collar tags, make sure your microchip number is listed in the PetDesk app, and make sure to take recent photos of your pet in case of emergency.
For this storm and for the future, gather a pet emergency preparedness kit. Check out a complete list from the American Veterinary Medical Association ( https://www.avma.org/resources-tools/pet-owners/emergency-care/pets-and-disasters ) and this cute video from the FDA ( https://youtu.be/dqtKKgdzHYU?si=IGm9HX1h58TM1D4x ). Most importantly, don’t forget to include clean water, food, an extra collar and leash, and your pet’s medications!
If needed, emergency veterinarians in our area are:
First Coast Veterinary Emergency at 904-853-6310 or Capital Veterinary ER at 904-647-7481
Thank you and stay safe,
Dr. Cole and Dr. Stewart
P.S. Don't worry about our house cat Squirrel, he went to stay with our practice manager for the storm and has already made himself at home in the cat tree!
