Apparently, the hurricanes are taking it easy this year. Our appointment book, however, did not receive that memo.
NOAA is forecasting a quieter-than-normal Atlantic hurricane season. Lovely news! But as we know in South Florida, it only takes ONE storm to turn things upside down.
And while the Atlantic may be relatively quiet, it is officially Bayview season. Dr. Bowsher and Dr. Pujol have been booking up as early as the day before, so now is a particularly good time to get ahead of your pet’s healthcare needs.
A few things worth doing BEFORE there’s a storm on the radar:
• Check your pet’s medications. Refills may require an up-to-date exam, so please don’t wait until a hurricane is approaching.
• Put together a pet emergency kit. Aim for two weeks of food, water, medications, and other essentials.
• Make sure vaccinations, medical records, ID tags, and microchip information are current.
• Have an evacuation plan that includes your pets. They are, after all, family.
We’ve put together five slides to help you prepare, whether you’re a lifelong Floridian or this is your first hurricane season.
Need an exam? Let’s get that taken care of before the weather becomes everyone’s problem.
Call us at 954-771-8520 or, even easier, text 754-203-3428.
Stay safe, South Florida. And please, let’s keep the only unexpected visitors this season in the waiting room.
