Planning Ahead To Keep Our Pets Safe

Winter storms, wildfires, hurricanes and others natural disasters can occur at any time in the state of Georgia. For that reason, it is essential to prepare yourself and your pets in case of an emergency situation.

• Create a Pet Emergency Kit : This kit should be essential part of your emergency plans. To learn how to create one yourself, please watch the following video.

• Keep your Pet Emergency Kit and pet's carriers together: Make sure your pet carriers are label with your contact information.
• Place a sticker near your home's front door: The sticker should indicate the number and type of pets residing in your household.

• Plan a safety location for you and your pet ahead of time: Keep in mind that not all disaster shelters accept pets. Take some time to find some pet-friendly evacuation locations in your area. Check with your local veterinary hospitals, pet boarding facilities, pet-friendly hotels and  motels. Unfortunately, our hospital has a very limited boarding space, but we recommend the following facilities to board your pets in case of emergency

                    Fair Oaks Veterinary Hospital: Phone (770) 432-7155

                    All Breed Pet Grooming and Boarding : Phone (770) 435-2854

• Never leave your pets behind: Even if your home is not affected during a natural disaster,               you can   not forecast when you will be able to come back home.
•  Microchip your pets and keep a collar with up to date rabies tag  on them all the time:            Proper  identification enhances the chances of your pet be reunited with you after a major disaster        event.  Please take advantage of our low cost microchipping service for only $30.  
• Talk with neighbors in case you are not at home when an emergency strikes: Show your           neighbors, friends, family and pet sitters, where your pet emergency kit and carriers are located           should an emergency occur while you are not at home. 
• Train you pets to come when called: Training your pet to come to a particular call can prove to       be  a life-saving preventive.
•  Stay calm: The calmer you can keep yourself, the more relaxed your pet will feel. A pheromone spray or the use of a Thundershirt can be very helpful when stress levels are running high.
•  Keep things familiar: Maintain the feeding schedule as routine as possible. Also keep their                favorite toys, blankets and bedding in the pet carrier.
