Remember that if you are isolated or self-isolating this may be for a minimum of 14 days. Therefore, it is a good idea to ensure you have enough supplies for your small animal family.
Where possible, weigh out what food you have remaining to see how much supply you currently have. Always ensure you have a minimum of 2 weeks’ supply; this allows time for re-ordering and delivery.
Ensure you have enough supplies of bedding materials, hay and supplements, together with any toys they may need to help keep them stimulated.
Always ensure your small animal friends have access to fresh water.
If you are self-isolating, or prefer not to come into contact with anyone, your OSCAR Nutritional Advisor or delivery driver can leave your delivery in an agreed safe place. Payment can be arranged by telephone – so no cash needs to cross hands.
If your pet takes regular medication, you will need to make sure that you have an adequate supply in case of isolation. Always call your veterinary practice first and don’t just turn up. You may be required to ask someone else to collect and deliver for you.
Ensure you have made arrangements for a family member, friend or neighbour to look after your small animal friends in case you are unable to do so.
Contact your OSCAR Nutritional Advisor, or OSCAR Direct, to help provide you with your small animal supplies – including bird feed and feeders for those who feed birds in the garden.
