⚠️ Severe Weather Pet Safety Reminder ⚠️
With dangerous weather approaching our area, we want to share a few important tips to help keep your pets safe:
• Let dogs out now for potty breaks before the storm arrives—conditions may quickly become unsafe.
• Bring all pets indoors if at all possible. High winds, heavy rain, and loud thunder can cause panic and lead to pets running off.
• Create a safe space inside your home—away from windows, preferably in an interior room.
• Ensure proper ID—make sure collars and tags are secure and information is up to date. Microchips should be registered with current contact info.
• Use crates if your pet is trained—this can help them feel secure during loud storms.
• Keep leashes, carriers, and emergency supplies nearby in case you need to move quickly.
• For outdoor animals, provide sturdy shelter, clean water, and protection from wind and flying debris—but bringing them inside is always safest.
Severe storms can happen quickly, and preparation makes all the difference. Please take a few minutes now to make sure your pets are safe.
Stay safe, everyone 🐾💜
