Traveling / Boarding...
Dr. Joshi has been accredited by United States Department of Agriculture to carry out export and import exams on livestock as well as on your pets. We strongly recommend that you find out well in advance from the embassy/consulate general of the country of your destination about their requirements. A physical exam and proper vaccinations are generally required. The exam should be carried out within a week of the start of your journey. Some countries require a second signature by officials in Trenton, NJ. So, plan a physical exam of your pet accordingly, so that you may still have enough time to go to Trenton and get your forms certified.
We do not generally recommend sedatives/tranquilizers for travelling pets.
For travel within the nation, many states require current rabies vaccinations for your pet. Please call us well in advance to make appropriate arrangements. Do not forget to ask your airlines about facilities they can provide to your beloved pet. They should conform to the guidelines set by the USDA.
BOARDING:
We board cats and small to medium sized dogs. A licensed veterinarian gives a general exam to your pet before boarding/on boarding day as well as just before release. Please let us know if you would want us to give your pet a bath/grooming while he is here.
Also please let us know if he/she has special food/diet/medication requirements. We will be glad to take care of all her needs while he/she is boarding with us. A special incentive that a lot of our clients are happy about is the fact that doctors are present in case of a medical problem.
We require that your pet be current on vaccinations and preventive medicine so that chances of disease transmission are eliminated.
Travelling is fun, let us make it safe also!
Some Safety Tips:
- Travel light.
- Take pets' medicines along.
- Keep your veterinarian's phone number handy 732-388-3379.
- Take all necessary papers (health certificate, vaccination records, export certificates etc.) with you.
- Getting out of car, keep your pet on a leash. For cats and small dogs, always carry them in a pet carrier.
- Do not let your pet be alone in a parked car.
- Keep a plastic bag and lots of paper napkins handy, in case your pet feels travel sickness.
- Make sure pets are well hydrated. Give them frequent urination/defecation breaks. Take along appropriate pooper-scoopers. Keep your pet on a leash while outside of your car.
- Look into buying a pet seat belt for your pet.
- Make sure your pet carrier is well secured and does not fall when you apply breaks or take a turn.
- Make sure that you have applied flea/tick/mosquito medicine on your pet, for adequate protection during travel/camping etc. Do not forget to give the heartworm medicine to prevent mosqito bite infections like heartworm infection.
