Pet Preparedness Month



Summer vacation and travelling with your pets starts now! Be prepared with these helpful tips.

Microchips
Your pet's collar is frequently the first thing lost, so having a permanent form of identification is very important. Microchip companies most often supply a collar tag with the microchip number. You can put this on your key chain so you have access to the microchip number and the company's contact information.

First Aid Supply
Put together a first aid kit for your pet. Suggested items include a rectal thermometer, bandage scissors, bandaging material, triple antibiotic ointment, hydrogen peroxide, and Benadryl.

Medication
Always make sure you have enough prescription medication while you are traveling. Bring medications in the original container.

Rabies
Many states require proof or Rabies vaccination. Make sure your pet is up-to-date on vaccines and take a copy of the Rabies certificate with you.

Veterinarian
Always have your veterinarians contact information with you. Do some research before you leave to find a veterinary hospital near your travel destination in case of an emergency.

As always...have fun!
