Human-animal bond can prove beneficial for recovery
of a pet who is seriously ill or injured.
SARASOTA, Fla., Nov. 10, 2011 – Critical Care & Veterinary Specialists of Sarasota LLC (CCVSS), which provides advanced intensive-care-unit and emergency veterinary medicine, has added a private room for clients who wish to stay overnight with their pet.
“We recognize the very powerful bond between our clients and their pets and wanted to give pet owners the option to stay with their pet as long as it is possible to do without compromising medical care,” said Dr. Anne Chauvet, a veterinary neurologist and founder of CCVSS. “Pets have become family members, and we want to honor that. Having a pet’s owner present can calm the pet and help with recovery in some circumstances.”
The room is equipped with a lounge chair that converts to a bed as well as a bed/rest area for the patient. Clients may bring a computer and have access to the Internet. Video monitoring allows veterinarians and staff to observe the patient, and the room is connected by telephone to the intensive care unit for assistance if needed. Charges for use of the room are based on the clinic’s out-of-pocket costs only and are determined by the degree of monitoring and individualized care needed. More information is available by calling 941-929-1818 or online at www.criticalvetcare.com.
