All Paws on Deck Keeping Pets Safe in Emergencies
When a disaster strikes, it’s not just your home and immediate family you need to protect; your furry family members also need you to keep them safe. By preparing for the unexpected and ensuring you have the right supplies, lines of communication, and arrangements, you can help reduce the stress and uncertainty for you and your furry companions. Get ready to be all paws on deck with these tips to keep your pets safe during emergencies. Be Purr-pared With a Plan Make sure you include your pet in your household’s overall emergency plan. You will avoid stressful scrambling at the last minute when a disaster occurs. If you need to evacuate, account for all pets so they don’t get hurt or lost in the chaos. Not all public shelters and hotels allow animals to stay, so determine a safe place to take them. It’s also important to assign a friend, neighbor, or family member to care for your pets if you cannot. If you have not microchipped your pet, now is a great time. Shelters can scan microchips to determine a lost animal’s home and owner’s contact information. Pack for Your Pets Create an emergency kit for your pets that includes supplies they need to survive a disaster. You should have a few days’ supply of food, water, and any medications your pet needs. Ensure you have a backup leash and collar and copies of your pet’s registration.
Include grooming items and sanitation tools like pet litter and paper towels. Items like favorite toys or your pet’s blanket can comfort them in stressful situations like an evacuation. Travel-Ready Tails Make sure you are ready to transport your pet in a travel carrier quickly. Place their carrier open in an area your pet is comfortable with, like a favorite napping spot. You can add a familiar blanket and toy inside to reduce their stress and use treats to encourage them to go inside. Make a mental note of your pet’s behavior during stressful times so you know where their go-to hiding spots are.
