Pet Safety During Spring Storms

3/19/2020 (Permalink)

Our furry friends are such an important piece of our life. Their happiness and safety mean so much to us.  When frequent spring storms occur, both can be threatened. Use the following tips to keep your pets safe during these events:

• If your pets are outside, thunder and lightning may cause them to scare and run. Make sure that all microchips and tags are current.
• If you know that a storm is coming, keep pets indoors if possible
• Dry pets off if they get wet to prevent chills and illness
• If you have outdoor pets, ensure that enclosures and cages are insulated from wind and rain
• Make sure that no trees are close to enclosures in the event that they fall down.
• Keep in mind that older pets are more sensitive to cold temperatures and dampness
• Make an emergency kit for your pets with items like extra food, toys, and a blanket
• Bring your pets with you if you leave your home
