Owner

Here is a quick check list on how one can one take care of their pets in the events of hurricane.

  • If you are planning to evacuate, then make sure that you have a fair amount of idea as to where your pets should stay.
  • If you are planning for a long vacation with your friends or if you are staying with your family then please make sure you get their permission to bring your pets.
  • If you are planning to book a room in a hotel or a motel then make sure that you ask first whether they allowed pets or not. It is must to avoid any kind of tension later on.
  • If you are a pet owner then you must know that pets will not be allowed at Red Cross Shelters, for the exception of service animal such as Seeing Eye dogs. So take care of all these things.
  • If in someway you can't take your pets with you, then it is advised that you must treat them in the best possible way and do reservation at animal clinic or boarding kennel. Don't wait for the last minute booking and that is why I would like to advise you that you should call early since the space might be limited. You can also ask them about any required vaccination and any kind of hidden charges, if you can come back soon to pick up your pets.
  • I know as to how much you love your pets, and I know that you won't leave them behind but in any case if you are forced to leave your pets behind, confine it to a pet carrier inside closet or bathroom with enough supply of drinking water and food. You can keep other familiar things like its toys and blankets etc.
  • At the same time it is recommended that you should include your pet food, water, other important things and your pet's medication in your hurricane plan.
  • Make sure that you have a portable pet carrier. Don't hesitate to buy a big one for your deary!
  • Vaccinate your pets by mid-May.
  • Mkae sure that he always carry an identification mark with him
