Natural disasters occur each year all over the globe. With the increased number of environmental emergencies due to climate change, it’s unfortunately likely we will encounter more. Here in New Jersey we have had our share of hurricanes, as well as major fires, flooding, and other natural disasters, man-made or environmental. 

The key to getting through a disaster safely is disaster preparedness, and this must also include our four-legged family members. 

The month of September is Natural Disaster Preparedness Month and the team at True Care Veterinary Hospital wants to make sure you and your pet are ready for anything.

It’s that time of year, with a number of holidays, festivals, and outdoor sports events to celebrate summer. Along with these big parties, there is also the chance of thunderstorms that make for an incredible display of lightning and thunder. Unfortunately, your pet may not appreciate all the excitement, both manmade and natural. 

Many pets suffer with noise anxiety and stress that is triggered by loud events. This can cause a range of behaviors, including the risk of a missing pet emergency. Helping your pet cope with fireworks and other noise is the team at True Care Veterinary Hospital’s aim. Here are some recommendations and tips to help ease your pet’s stress this time of year.
