Keeping you pet safe in a natural disaster as well as everyday!
We don’t like to think bad things but some of us live in areas prone to hurricanes, tornados and floods. So it’s so important to have a plan to keep your pets safe.
Do you have a plan? Here is a helpful list to make a stressful situation less hectic.
• Make sure your pets have proper ID that is secured well to a collar.
• Have ready food and water for several days, any medications, up to date shot and health records, leashes, collars and a crate.
• Discuss a plan with family or friends outside your area who would be able to take your pets if needed during and even after a disaster to let you have time to get back on your feet. Also, look for pet friendly hotels outside your area as well.
Most important never leave your pet behind, if it’s not safe for you it’s not safe for them. During times of disaster most community shelters will offer safe haven for you and your pets. Having a “disaster kit” ready is always a good plan.
