You might be stocked up on batteries and gas for yourself, but have you prepared your dog for hurricane season? Here are the three things you need for your fur babies:
Updated Health Records: Be sure to have a copy (both physical and digital) of your pet’s veterinary records on hand in addition to a recent photo of your pet and the contact information for their vet.
Daily Needs: While it’s likely you already have some of this around the house, have an extra stash of their daily needs ready to go in case of evacuation, power outages, or property damage, including food, medications, bowls, leash and collar, and a crate or pet carrier.
Comfort & Entertainment: There is a chance you’ll be in an unfamiliar situation for your pet, so keep some comfort items on hand, too, like calming treats, enrichment toys, and extra blankets or towels.
