PET EVAC PAK in the News!

Nevada Humane Society Duck Races

For those of you who didn't know the Nevada Humane Society is a NO-KILL shelter. They are supported 100% by donations.

On August 27th Pet Evac Pak was invited to attend the annual Duck Race fundraiser. Ducks can be purchased for $5 each and then dumped into the Truckee river to race down a short stretch of the river. There were lots of prizes to be had including a car!

The good news is that nine dogs and 7 cats were adopted that day to their new families and according to Greg Hall, the CEO of the Nevada Humane Society, they raised over $215,000.

A good time was had by all!

Pet Safety Tip - How to make an emergency dog muzzle

None of us wants to muzzle our dogs but if they are injured or scared they could reach out and bite.

Just find a long piece of fabric or gauze. Try not to use a stretch gauze or your dog might be able to shake loose. You could use your pet's leash in a pinch
Make a large loop at the center of your fabric or gauze. This loop should be 3 times the size of your pup's muzzle. Place the loop around the muzzle and pull it tight on top of the nose, tying it with a single knot.
Bring the end of your fabric or gauze back under your dog's muzzle. After tying the makeshift muzzle on top of the nose, bring the two ends of the gauze around to create a second loop around the snout. Tie these ends underneath the jaw with another single knot.
Last bring the ends of the fabric or gauze behind your pet's ears and make and secure it with a bow instead of a knot in case you need to release your pet quickly.

Never leave your pet in a muzzle for more than 20 minutes. This is not recommended for dogs with short snouts as it could cause breathing problems

Monkeypox Transmission Between People and Pets

According to Texas A&M the first confirmed case of monkeypox in a 4-year-old greyhound was verified this week. Pets can become infected through close contact with a person who is infected.

The A&M staff of the Veterinary Medicine & Biometrics department say it's more likely that a pet can contract the disease from a humane as opposed to a humane catching it from their pet.

They site if you have contracted monkeypox to isolate yourself from your family and pets for 21 days to avoid transmitting it to them.

The symptoms of monkeypox in pets are similar to those in humans and can include lesions that look like blisters or pimples, fever, cough, inflamed eyes, swollen lymph nodes and runny nose. If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms, you should contact your vet immediately.
