🌧️🐾 Rainy Season Pet Safety Reminder 🐶🐱
Heavy rains, flooding, thunderstorms, and strong winds are common during the rainy season and can pose serious risks to our beloved pets. Keep them safe, healthy, and protected by following these important reminders.
🌊 Flood Safety
🐾 Never allow pets to play or walk in floodwater.
Floodwater may contain bacteria, parasites, chemicals, and urine from infected animals that can cause serious diseases such as leptospirosis.
🐾 Provide clean drinking water at all times.
Do not allow pets to drink from puddles, canals, or floodwater.
🐾 Keep pets indoors during heavy rains and flooding.
Ensure they have a clean, dry, and elevated resting area.
🐾 Prepare an emergency evacuation kit.
Include food, water, medications, vaccination records, leash, collar, carrier, and identification tags.
⛈️ Thunderstorm & Lightning Safety
🐾 Keep pets safely indoors during thunderstorms.
🐾 Close windows, gates, and doors to prevent pets from escaping when frightened by loud thunder.
🐾 Create a safe and quiet space where your pet can hide and feel secure.
🐾 Stay calm and avoid scolding anxious pets.
Many dogs and cats become fearful during storms and may show signs of stress.

Watch for:
