Seasonal Pets Need Continuity of Care: What You Should Know

If you are visiting Naples or are one of our seasonal residents that we share our community with, Animal Oasis’ goal is to keep your pets in peak form throughout the season and beyond.

A major issue that often gets overlooked is that seasonal pet parents might take their pet to several different veterinarians during their stay or upon their seasonal return to our area. This can be problematic. It’s important to have all pet records available and to try and see the same veterinarian each time. So, if you are in the Naples area, seeing a veterinarian here locally and seeing one veterinarian in your hometown is critical for your pet’s safety and optimal care. Of course, if you need a specialist, those practitioners should be consistent as well.

If you see multiple veterinarians, the communication level will most likely be lost and the pet can be overmedicated, as well as other potentially harmful situations can occur.

Animal Oasis offers wellness visits, vaccinations, as well as urgent care and surgery depending on your pet’s needs. With a full imaging center, highly experienced technicians and doctors, and a well-staffed office to serve you, your pet can be taken care of comprehensively in the comfort of our office.

Planning for Your Pets Care During Your Stay
Stock up on pet food, and medications, so you’re not in a bind when or if they are unavailable.

Remember, not all towns and places are pet friendly, so if you need to leave your pet in the hotel or rental property while you’re out, think about what they will need, or preplan ahead and make an appointment for a pet sitter or dog walker to tend to them.

Make Sure Your Pet is Comfortable
Getting your pets acclimated to your surroundings and schedule is critical for their comfort and will ease any anxiety that they may have. Always have plenty of water, a comfortable bed and favorite toys available.

Exercise In Florida is Different then up North
It’s also wise to speak to your veterinarian about the type of exercise that’s appropriate for your pet, and when it’s safe to take baby animals outside, as well as how much exercise is appropriate for elderly animals. Here in Florida, providing animals with shaded areas to rest or play, and with an ample supply of water is always important!

Veterinarian’s Expertise & Advice
It’s always important to speak to your veterinarian about what’s best for your pet. They are also an excellent resource for other pet-related recommendations like sitters, walkers, boarding, and grooming.
