Rainy season is in full effect, and with this has come flooding in many areas of Trinidad. Flood waters pose a special risk to pets, with various disease causing organisms being carried in the swells. Two diseases that can be transmitted this way are pythiosis and leptospirosis, both of which can be potentially fatal to your furry companions.

In light of this, we're advising all dog owners to keep your pets away from flood waters as best as possible and ensure that their drinking water is clean. Vaccination is also advised, whether puppy vaccines or annual boosters, as this can help protect against leptospirosis.

Stay safe everyone!

As we get ready to say a relieved, “good bye, and good riddance” to the year 2020, remember our Furry Friends who do not enjoy the fireworks as much as we do. Whether or not you have decided to sedate your pet(s) this evening, here are a easy few tips to safeguard them and reduce the possibility of you needing to visit us on Saturday for fear-induced, accidental injuries.

1. Keep dogs and cats inside in a room; close the windows and curtains to muffle the outside noise. For larger animals that cannot stay inside a bedroom/bathroom, create a safe and comfortable confined space where they cannot injure themselves or escape into the night.

2. Play loud music or turn the TV volume to loud in the area your pet will be housed.

3. Do not tie frightened dogs outside on a leash/chain (they may break free or strangle themselves trying to escape)

4. Do not allow dogs to run freely in the yard during the fireworks as they may try to escape and injure themselves.

5. Keep checking on your pets during the course of the evening (especially those who have been given sedatives).

6. Do not leave sedated animals alone with deep bowls of drinking water. Use a shallow dish to prevent them falling asleep in it by accident.

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable end to the season, may next year be filled with light, love and prosperity. - The Team

So, Santa has brought your family a puppy or kitten for Christmas. What’s next?

1. Vaccination is so important to protect against a number of common diseases here in Trinidad, including parvo and distemper.

2. Deworming is a must, as these nasty critters can steal much needed nutrients from your little ones, slowing down their growth and weakening their immune systems.

3. Treating for ticks and fleas. In addition to being very irritating to your pet, ticks and fleas can also transmit diseases like tick fever.
