This past weekend, a $500,000 grant from celebrity chef Rachael Ray made it possible for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to open a shelter for pets displaced by Hurricane Sandy.

The shelter opened on Saturday in a 20,000 square-foot vacant warehouse in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn. The shelter will be open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. If there are any pet owners who are interested in bringing their pets to this shelter, please call the Hurricane Sandy Pet Hotline at (347)573-1561. Also, pet owners will need a government issued photo ID and proof of address. It is also requested that your pets be wearing their identification tags and be in a carrier or crate. It is also asked that pet owners bring vaccination records and any medications your pet may need. 

There are many people and groups coming together at this difficult time to help pet owners who have lost their homes and have no one to take care of their animals.

Protect Your Pets From Holiday Hazards This Year!

THE BREGMAN VETERINARY GROUP 

www.BregmanVetGroup.com

With the holiday’s quickly approaching, we’re sure everyone is looking forward to enjoying the season and the many festivities that come along with it! However, be sure to keep an extra eye out on your furry friends at this time.

You’re not the only one who enjoys the holiday season – pets do also! You can bet that at some point they’ll try and snag a couple scraps from the table of have some fun with your decorations.

However, here are a couple of ways to protect your pets from holiday hazards!

Decorate Wisely – If you have pets running around the house, try to avoid having plants around such as poinsettias or holly. If you must have these items in your home around the holidays, put them in a location that pets won’t be able to reach.  Tinsel and ribbons also possess danger for your pets. They usually tend to ingest stringier decorations and it can lead to intestinal obstructions.

Avoid the Problem – If there are certain areas in the house that your pet frequents, try to keep any items that may be dangerous to them (such as candles) out of the area. Also, there are many new technologies that can assist you with this process such as Invisible Fence Brand Micro Shields Avoidance Solutions.

Watch Your Plate – As many pet owners already know, there are tons of table foods that are unsafe and unhealthy for pets to consume. Pets can easily choke on bones from roasts or consume chocolate from a dessert and become very ill. Be sure to remind your guests not to leave any plates lying around and to refrain from feeding your pets anything off their plate.

We hope that you take the proper precautions in keeping your pets safe this upcoming holiday season! Do you have any other suggestions on how to keep pets safe during the holidays? Let us know on our Facebook page, LINKED HERE!

Did You Lose a Pet During Hurricane Sandy? Read Here!

Unfortunately during Hurricane Sandy, there were many pets that were lost. As many families are trying to recover from Sandy’s aftermath, many are missing their furry friends. If you’re in the New York City area, there are a couple of ways to help try and find your pet or report a found one.

Last week, a Facebook page was created called “Hurricane Sandy Lost and Found Pets”. This Facebook page became extremely popular overnight getting 21,500 LIKES as of this morning. Pet owners can use this site to upload photos of their pets and other information regarding their lost animal. The creators of the page are organizing posts of pets by state and animal type.

Here are a few other tips to follow if you lost or perhaps found a pet during this time:

•  If you find an animal, take it to a veterinarian's office or shelter to have it scanned for a microchip. This could speed up the reunion.
• Likewise, if an animal has a rabies collar, that would be registered to its regular vet.
• If you are able to take in the animal until its owner is found, that would be ideal, since most animal shelters in the area are filled past capacity at this time.
• Pet owners should fill out a Lost Pet Report on the Animal Care and Control (ACC) page of the New York City website.
• Lost and our found pet posters are still worth the effort- especially since power isn't restored in all areas affected by the storm. 

We hope that if anyone lost their pets during Hurricane Sandy, they're returned safely home to you! 

Do You Think The NYC Marathon Should Take Place This Weekend?

THE BREGMAN VETERINARY GROUP

Mayor Bloomberg has made the decision that the New York City Marathon will take place this coming weekend. This decision has sparked much controversy. The Mayor called off the home opener for the New Jersey Nets vs. the New York Knicks at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last night. However, he says the marathon will go on.

Many runners who had planned on running the marathon either cannot get here to the area to  run it or simply are refusing to because they don’t agree with the Mayors decision. Many also believe the conditions aren't safe or sanitary.  Some areas of New York City are still experiencing levels of high water, power outages and transportation chaos.

What are your thoughts about the NYC marathon being held? Do you think the race should be run? Let us know on our Facebook page, LINKED HERE!
