Emergencies come in many forms: fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, violent storms and even terrorism. In the event of extreme weather or a disaster, would you know what to do to protect your pet? Leaving pets out of evacuation plans can put pets, pet owners, and first responders in danger. Even if you try to create a safe place for them, pets left behind during a disaster are likely to be injured, lost, or worse. Be prepared: make a plan and prepare a disaster kit for your pet.

π£ Did you know October is National Pet Wellness Month?
π By age two, most dogs and cats have already reached adulthood. By the time they reach age four, they're considered middle-aged. At age seven, many dogs and cats have already started their senior years. Because dogs and cats age five to seven times faster than people, an annual visit to the veterinarian every year is equivalent to people seeing their physician or dentist every five to seven years!
π People want the best healthcare for themselves and for their pets, and for dogs and cats, this means regular wellness exams. We can tell you how often you're pet should be seen, just give us a call at 843-552-8278 to schedule an exam and we'll work together to create wellness plan specifically for your pet!

π£ It's National Senior Pet Month!
Thanks to better care, pets are living longer now than they ever have before β but as pets get older, they need extra care and attention. Regular veterinary examinations can detect problems in older pets before they become advanced or life-threatening, and improve the chances of a longer and healthier life for your pet.
If you have a senior pet (typically 7 years of age for cats and small dogs, 5-6 years of age for larger dog breeds), be sure they're having routine wellness exams - just give us a call at 843-552-8278 to schedule an appointment for your sweet senior pet today!
