Done. ! You guys are amazing !! Thank you for all you do !!

Done. See you Saturday!

The nice thing about boarding with a vet clinic is that if there is an emergency the entire staff is equipped to deal with all medical emergencies.

But keep in mind if you want to board with any clinic they should require that your shots are up-to-date.

With the upcoming 4th of July and the fireworks issue. We wanted to post ahead of time to help you better prepare your pets. IF YOU NEED SEDATION OPTIONS, PLEASE CALL TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.

(770)569-7298

1. PREPARE
If your home is ground zero for City activity or Neighborhood fireworks displays then arrange to have your dog in a place where there won’t be loud fireworks displays — a friend’s or relative’s home or a doggy day care with which your dog is familiar. If it’s an unfamiliar place for your dog, take him over there a few times in the days before the holiday so that it won’t be a surprise when you take him there on the Fourth.

2. ACCOMMODATIONS
If you cannot take your dog to a place away from fireworks, then have a kennel inside your home for your pet to feel safe in. if you’re not going to be home, arrange to have someone come by for bathroom breaks every four hours.

3. ACCLIMATING
The best way to prepare your dog for fireworks is to make sure they are comfortable with the sound in advance. While this is a simple process, it can take time — possibly a couple months of playing the recorded sound of fireworks for your dog at an increasingly louder volume before he/she eats, before a walk, and before affection and play.

This will condition them by association to hear the sound and interpret it as something good. While you can try this method over only a week or two, in such a short time span it should only be used in conjunction with one or more of the other tips. In any case, play the firework sounds.

4. SEDATION
If you do find it necessary to medicate or use a thundershirt to calm your dog during the fireworks, remember that you must introduce these tools at the right time, conditioning your dog to understand that the medication or thundershirt is there to bring them a calm state.

This means that you must bring your dog to that calm state first, then introduce the tool — before the fireworks and the anxiety begin. If she is already at a high anxiety level, then his/her mental state will overrule the medication. If they are already breathing heavily, then the thundershirt, which is designed to help slow their breathing...will not work. The key to using tools is knowing how and when to connect the two.

5. Communication
If you are going to be with your dog during the fireworks, sending the calming message that they are nothing to worry about will also help him to relax. Remember, though, while humans communicate with words, dogs communicate with energy, and will look to their pack leader for clues on how they should behave. If you’re not making a big deal or showing excitement about the fireworks, then he will learn to be less concerned as well.

In all cases above, expend your dog’s excess energy first, before the fireworks start, by taking her on a very long walk to tire her out and put her in a calm state.

Most importantly, don’t think of this in terms of your dog as your child who is missing out on a great, fun time. That’s human guilt. Your dog won’t know what she’s missing. You’re being a good pack leader by not exposing her to a situation that will trigger her flight instinct in a negative way. When the booms and bangs of the 4th of July are over, your dog will be grateful to you for having made it a less stressful experience! ... See MoreSee Less
