🐾Natural Disaster Animal Preparedness Day🐾

Emergencies can happen fast - but being prepared can make all the difference four you and your pets.
Here are a few simple tips, based on guidance from the American Animal Hospital Association, to help keep your pets safe:

📍Know your risks
Think about what emergencies are most likely in your area (storms, floods, tornadoes, fires) and plan ahead

🎒Build a pet emergency kit
Have everything ready to grab and go. Your kit should include:
• At least 3 days of food and water
• A first aid kit
• Extra supplies (leashes, collars, medications)
• A recent photo of your pet
•Your pet's microchip number and ID info

🚗Make an evacuation plan
Know where you can go before an emergency happens:
• Pet-friendly hotels or shelters
• Friends of family who can take you in
• Keep medical and vaccine records easy to access for travel

Being prepared now can save valuable time - and reduce stress - when it matters most.

🌟Patient Spotlight: Maxwell🌟

Meet Maxwell, a 6.5 year old kitty with a big personality and an even bigger heart 🐾💙

Max was originally a stray in his neighborhood, but when his family noticed he was getting too skinny, they took him in - and he adjusted to indoor life immediately. Safe to say, he knew he had found his people.

His favorite way to cuddle is extra special: Max climbs onto mom's chest, puts a paw on each shoulder, and stares right in to her eyes 🥺

A little over a year ago, Max started having severe mouth pain and stopped eating. After another clinic was unable to find answers, his family brought him to Walnut Creek Vet Hospital. Together, we worked to get Max feeling better, including placing a temporary feeding tube wile finding the right medications to keep him comfortable enough to eat on his own again.

Now, about a year and a half after having his feeding tube removed, Max is back to being his cuddly, loving self - except, of course, when it's time for his medications 😹

These days, he loves:
🐾Forcing the dogs to cuddle with him
🐾Looking out the windows
🐾Spending time with his one and only cat friend... our clinic cat Lt. Dan

Maxwell's story is such a wonderful reminder of how resilient and loving pets can be, and we feel honored to have been part of his journey. 💙
