Hurricane Season is Here - Be Pet Prepared

Hurricane season is here. Is your hurricane kit ready to go? Here are a few tips to make sure that you are prepared before the next storm.

1. Have a plan. Make plans ahead of time to evacuate to somewhere that is pet friendly, such as a pet-friendly shelter, hotel, or family and friends.

2. Make a kit. The kit should include food, water, and any medications that your pet may need. Keep a copy of your pet's medical records on hand. Have a collar, leash, disposable bags, food, and water bowls in your kit. Make sure to have crates available that can be used at a shelter if needed. Have a recent photo of your pet in case you become separated.

3. Make sure identification is current. Keep a collar and tag with current information on your pet. Consider microchipping your pet. Microchips won’t get lost.

4. Make sure vaccinations are up to date. Make sure their vaccinations are up to date so you don’t have any issues if you have to leave your pet in a safe place.
