Luego del Huracán María en el 2017, ésta pequeña apareció en las puertas de nuestra clínica con tan solo dos meses; el Dr. Giusti no pudo resistirse, dándole así un hogar en nuestra clínica. Silvy se convirtió en nuestra compañera, y nos alegra los días con sus paseos por la clínica. Una gatita única y especial, nos sentimos muy afortunados de tenerla.

Pets On Deck
We would like to share this article posted recently on Southern Boating for sailing traveling pets.
Planning a boating excursion with your dog (or cat) this weekend? Pets are a part of the family and should be treated as such.
However, boating with pets isn’t without challenges and additional precautions will keep your furry friends safe and sound.
Here are ten tips for boating with pets:
Acclimation
The first time your pup comes aboard, it probably isn’t wise to go deep-sea fishing. Pets, like people, need to acclimate to the movement and feel of any vessel. Start slow and progress. Not all pets will be comfortable right away, so use baby steps (or in this case, puppy steps).
Swim Test
Some pets love the water. Others may need time to adjust to swimming. Take it slow and test out your pet’s reaction to the water well before you head out to sea.
Lifejackets
Be sure to purchase a lifejacket for Fido if you have concerns about your pet’s swimming strength or stamina. There are a variety of places to purchase lifejackets for your pet. Make sure that the lifejacket fits properly so your pet doesn’t slip out accidentally.
Pet Overboard!
Speaking of lifejackets and swimming—make sure you have a plan in place if your pet does happen to go overboard. Ideally, this should be thought of and discussed before your pet steps on board.
Water, water everywhere…
but not a drop to drink! Your pet, like all people, will get thirsty. Bring plenty of fresh water and make sure your pet knows where to find it.
Identify
This might be a no-brainer but make sure your pet is identifiable.
Throwing Shade
Okay, so more like providing shade. The sun’s rays are even more powerful on the water, so make sure there is ample shade for your pet. Or you may want to invest in a pet sunscreen—sunscreen for humans often includes zinc, which is harmful if ingested, so pet sunscreen is best.
Boarding
If your pet is larger or older, you may want to have a boarding ladder. This can also be helpful for getting your pet back on the boat from the water.
Seasickness
We’ve all been there. An occasional bout of sea-sickness is nothing to worry about, but if your pet gets sick regularly, they might be better off staying on land. You can also discuss motion sickness medications with your veterinarian.
Answering Nature’s Call
Okay so we saved the grossest one for last—but don’t let it deter you from a day on the water with your best friend. Many housebroken pets will be reluctant to go on board your boat but they can be trained to use carpet scraps, wee-wee pads or litter boxes placed in the cockpit.
It takes a bit of time to prepare your pet for the boat—but, after the first few trips, all should go smoothly. Go slow, drink water, have fun.

During the creation of Del Mar Veterinary Pet Hospital, many pet lovers were curious and inquired regarding our services. We appreciate the enthusiasm and continuously work to bring the best veterinary services. We have been blessed to have received the help from family and friends in the local community.
Denzel, a 5 year old, male, Humacao born-and-raised mix breed dog, suffered bite wounds in the neck and thorax due to dog bites inflicted by a roaming pitbull who wandered into his yard. Dr. Giusti was called by Denzel's owners who witnessed the attack and were extremely worried about their pet.
We always encourage proper care and responsible housing of our pets to prevent accidents. Pit bulls, or any other breed, should not be blamed for. We, as owners, should take responsibility in preventing dangerous situations.

Dr. Giusti on site and hands on providing first aid and wound care.
Dr. Giusti arrived at the premises and provided first aid to Denzel. Proper wound care and suturing was done in his home, luckily, Denzel's lesions did not require hospitalization. Instructions for recovery care and medications were provided to ensure Denzel's well-being.
Denzel back to normal after recovery.
Due to the prompt veterinary care provided, Denzel recovered successfully without any complications. We are very happy he can continue tail-wagging for his family. He is a tough guy.
