- Check in with your vet. Ensure you have copies of your pet's records and proof of vaccinations. Make sure to have a 2-3 week supply of any medication your pet mat take. It's a good idea to have your pet microshipped and has a current ID tag and rabies vacination tag.
- Put together a pet emergency kit. Include food, water, leashes, carriers and picture to establish ownership and accurate pet identification.
Where To Go
- Seek out a pet-friendly boarding place since unfortunately most evacuation shelters do not take pets.
- Consider places that will take you and your pets. Check out sites like BringFido.com, GoPetFriendly.Com and PetsWelcome.com
If You Have To Let Your Pet Stay At Home
- Do not confine them or have them tied up. Leave plenty of food and water for your pets. Post a note outside your house that there are pets inside.
- Do not abandon your pets!
- Make it easy for your pets/livestock to ride out the storm. Prepare shelters and possible escape routes for your pets/livestock if need be
