Important Safety Notices for Pet Owners in Weston & Westport
We want to keep you informed about potential environmental hazards to your pets in our area. Please be aware of the following:
-
Rabies Alert: A raccoon in Westport tested positive for rabies in May 2024. Rabies is a serious viral disease that can be transmitted through the saliva of infected animals. To protect your pet and your family, please take precautions. If your pet has potentially come into contact with a raccoon or other wild animal, avoid direct contact with your pet for four hours and contact our office immediately to schedule a rabies booster vaccination. Protecting your pet with a rabies vaccine is crucial for their safety and public health.
-
Venomous Snake Warning: Copperhead snakes have recently been sighted in local parks. Copperheads are venomous snakes, and their bites can be dangerous to pets. Please be vigilant when walking your dog in parks and wooded areas. Keep dogs on leashes to prevent them from exploring in underbrush where snakes may be present. If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, seek immediate veterinary attention.
Practice Policies for a Safe and Comfortable Visit
To ensure the safety and comfort of all our clients and their pets, we have a few important policies:
-
Leash and Carrier Requirement: For the protection of your pet and others, all dogs must be on a leash and properly controlled while in the waiting area or exam rooms. Cats must be in carriers. This helps to prevent accidental escapes and interactions between animals, ensuring a stress-free environment for everyone.
-
Medication Refills: Please remember to call in your medication refill requests prior to picking them up. This allows us time to prepare your pet’s medications and ensures they are ready for you when you arrive.
In cases where specialized care is required, Animal Doctor of Weston & Westport collaborates with board-certified veterinary specialists who share our commitment to compassionate and high-quality pet care. We believe in providing seamless and comprehensive support for your pet’s health throughout their life.
