  • Hurricane-Proof Your Pet: Top Safety Tips for Jacksonville Families from Animal Clinic of Mandarin

    posted: Sep. 25, 2025.

    The blog post from Animal Clinic of Mandarin offers vital advice for Jacksonville, Florida pet owners, particularly in the Mandarin area near the St. Johns River, to prepare pets for the 2025 hurricane season, peaking in September. It underscores the importance of proactive pet care amidst risks like flooding, power outages, and evacuations. Key steps include:Pet Emergency Kit: Assemble a go-bag with 7+ days of food and water, medications, vaccination records, microchip ID, comfort items (leash, carrier, blanket), and first-aid supplies (antibiotic, low-fat food). Elevated bowls and avoiding saltwater exposure are recommended for coastal pets. Evacuation Planning: Know pet-friendly routes and stops, as I-295 can congest quickly. FEMA-approved shelters like Jacksonville Fairgrounds require vaccination proof, while pet-friendly hotels like La Quinta need early booking. The clinic offers storm-safe boarding and behavior consults for anxious pets, including medication options. Post-Storm Health Checks: Watch for giardia, injuries, or stress-related symptoms (lethargy, vomiting, thirst) and schedule a vet visit within 48 hours for X-rays or bloodwork. Core vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, Lepto) and flea/tick preventatives are critical, especially with heartworm risks rising post-storm. The post highlights that over 20% of Jacksonville households have pets, many displaced in past storms like Hurricane Irma without plans. September, National Disaster Preparedness Month, is ideal for wellness exams and a free microchipping event at the clinic. Local resources include Jacksonville Animal Care (904-630-CITY), St. Johns Riverkeeper, and FEMA’s pet guide (ready.gov/pets). These strategies, tailored for Mandarin’s waterfront communities, ensure pet safety and family resilience during hurricane season. Read more

    • "I began working for Dr. Kaiser at the Animal Clinic of Mandarin over 3 years ago. I decided
      to get a new Lab mix puppy and made the decision to enroll Zuri in Trupanion. I made this
      decision after hearing other employees and Dr. Kaiser talking about how great it has been for
      their own pets and our clients.
      Within the first 6 months my puppy Zuri’s knee kept coming out of place and she would stiffen
      up and could only walk on 3 legs. She had to have surgery and between working with Dr. Kaiser
      and the specialist I couldn’t have been happier that I was able to take care of Zuri and give her
      the treatment that was needed at such a young age. I now have no worries as she grows older
      that I won’t be able to take care of her financially. I recently added a new 1 year old rescue Great
      Dane, Zane to our family. He also has Trupanion because I can’t imagine the cost if something
      happens to him being such a large dog."

    • "Dr. Kaiser and staff are awesome. Great customer service. They deal with the pet insurance company directly for you so you don't have to pay what is covered directly out of pocket. They have gone above and beyond to help our fur baby. Super clean! We love to see Harry (the beautiful St. Bernard) growing up as well!"

    • "I called and was able to get an appt the same day. The office was very clean and customer service was very exceptional. Dr. Kaiser took her time to go explain everything and get a thorough history. Sick call exam and consultation came up to $51.75. She also offered a deal on pet insurance. Overall we had a very good experience."
