More About Pet Care During a Texas Windstorm.
If you have pets they should be part of your hurricane preparation plan. Here are some things to consider:
If you will stay at home during a storm, add pet supplies to your emergency supplies. This can include a weeks supply of food, extra water, and any medications the pet requires. If you have outdoor pets bring them in well before the storm hits.
If you will evacuate for a storm
Plan for a place for the pet to stay. If you will be going to a motel or hotel locate some that allow pets ahead of time. They will fill fast in an emergency so make a reservation ASAP. If you will stay with a friend or relative ask in advance if the pet can stay. If not locate a couple pet shelter possibilities, it will be much easier to get information before a hurricane is imminent.
If you will leave the pet at a shelter be sure that the vaccinations are current. Many shelters won't accept a pet without current immunizations. Keep a copy of the vaccinations with your emergency supplies and remember to bring these papers to the shelter. Shelters fill fast so make a reservation ASAP.
Don't leave the dog tied up in the yard! This seems like common sense but many dogs died after Rita and Katrina from this.
Have a suitable carrier for each pet.
Be sure the animal's collar has identification and don't forget a leash.
Have a recent photograph of each pet. This can help to recover your pet if you are separated.
Be careful if you discover pets that are loose after a disaster. Animals can be defensive or aggressive after a stressful experience or injury. If an injured animal must be captured it is best to call the city or county animal control department, they have personnel trained to handle that.
Additional information is available from your veterinarian or local humane society.
