Hurricane Season Is Here

admin — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:09:06 +0000

Hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and we’d like to remind everyone to prepare your pet for any type of emergency situation. Hurricanes, fires, floods and family emergencies are just a few examples why “Fido” and “Kitty” needs a packed bag!

Here are a few tips to get you started:

1.) Vacuum seal a 3-5 day supply of their favorite dry food. This will keep it fresh for many months and also protects it from getting wet or crushed.

2.) Make a list of emergency phone numbers including your veterinarian and your local 24 hour emergency clinic. Make a note of shelters in your area that accept pets, and have a backup plan (family or friends) just in case.

3.)Current Immunization Records!!! and any medications you might need for 3-5 days.

3.) Place a current photo of your pet in your emergency bag just in case you need to make fliers.

4.) Pack a towel. This can be used for everything from drying off, wiping up, cleaning up and bedding.

5.) Pack a small flashlight in your bag. This is very handy for late night potty breaks in unfamiliar areas.

Don’t forget the essentials like collars, leashes, toys, brushes, and water.

PACK ALL THESE NECESSITIES IN DOGGY BAGGAGE AND YOU’RE READY FOR ANY SITUATION THAT MIGHT COME YOUR WAY.

Traveling with your dog or cat can be fun for you and your pet. Preparation is key to keeping stress to a minimum. Below is a general check list of items to pack for your furry friend:

* Fresh water (screw top water bottles will work well)
* Water bowl
* Food
* Food bowl
* Leash
* Bedding (or towel or blanket)
* Toy(s)
* Medication (remember heartworm preventative and flea control)
* Tranquilizers or motion sickness medication, if necessary (discuss with your veterinarian before travel)
* Copy of veterinarian record including vaccination history and your veterinarians name and phone number. Rabies vaccine is required by law)
* Certificate of Veterinary Inspection for Interstate Movement (if traveling by plane, bus or train)
* Identification (tag, collar, microchip, tattoo)
* Recent photo of your pet
* Doggie waste bags (for easy clean-up and disposal)
* Consolidating all your dog or cat’s gear into one bag maintains organization
* Most pets that are prone to motion sickness do better when not fed prior to travel. For those pets that are especially nervous, discuss options with your veterinarian to lessen their anxiety.
* Many hotels allow pets. Check with your destination for pet friendly accommodations
* When you are prepared and relaxed, your pet will be too.
* Have fun!
