Wildfire Season & Pet Safety: What Hamilton Pet Owners Should Know 🐾

While our clinic here in Hamilton is not currently near the active wildfires affecting parts of Ontario and across Canada, many of our clients are vacationing in cottage country or have loved ones in impacted areas.

These fires can spread quickly and evacuation orders can come with little notice — especially in rural or wooded areas.

If you’re travelling with your pets this summer, here are important pet safety tips to keep in mind in case of a wildfire emergency

🐶 Prepare a Pet Emergency Kit:
Include:

* Food & water (3+ days)
* Leash, collar, harness
* Medications & medical records
* Comfort items (blanket, toy)
* Litter and tray (for cats), p**p bags
* A photo of you with your pet (in case of separation)

🏠 Know Where to Go:

* Identify pet-friendly evacuation shelters or hotels in the area you’re staying
* Have a list of nearby veterinary clinics just in case
* Never leave your pet behind — if it’s not safe for you, it’s not safe for them

📱 Stay Informed:

* Download apps like Alert Ready or follow Ontario Forest Fires () for real-time updates
* Sign up for alerts from your vacation region

🚗 Travel Safely:

* Keep pets secure in a well-ventilated carrier or with a seatbelt harness
* Have your emergency kit in the car, ready to go

💡 **Tip:** Microchip your pets and make sure ID tags are up to date. It’s the fastest way to reunite if separated.

Even if you’re not directly affected, sharing this information can help someone who is. If you need help preparing your pet’s emergency kit or have questions about safety while travelling, we’re here to support you. 🐾

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Lishika Lange to the NVA Canada community and the teams at The Cat Clinic and Beattie Pet Hospital - East Hamilton!

Originally from eastern Tennessee, Dr. Lange studied biology and environmental science at Maryville College before spending a year as a park ranger in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She recently graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College (Class of 2025) with a focus on feline medicine, and brings a special interest in dentistry and behaviour.

Outside of the clinic, she enjoys hiking, paddleboarding, reading, crocheting, leatherworking, and baking. At home, she’s kept company by Midna, a medium-haired grey cat who loves walks and chasing bugs, and Rosalind, a gentle pale morph ball python who once served as a teaching snake.

Dr. Lange is excited to join both teams, learn from her new colleagues, begin building meaningful relationships with clients, and meeting all her new feline and furry patients!

Welcome, Dr. Lange! We’re so glad to have you on the team.
