Some Measures To Keep Your Pet Comfortable During A Storm

 

We're not the only ones who feel restless when a storm happens. Our animals feel the same -- it's just that they can't tell you directly how stressed they are. So it's up to us to observe their behavior and take action when needed.

If there is a quiet room in the house, stay there with all of your pets. That should muffle the banging and the wind noises coming from outside. You can even turn on the radio so that there is enough static noise to drown out everything else. It would also help to give your pet something to entertain them.

Also, consider that if you evacuate to a shelter, your pet might not be allowed to come in. Enter the services of emergency boarding facilities. After receiving the warning of a coming storm, you can leave your pet at one of their facilities. Just don't forget the basics like their identification and your contact info. If your pet has a microchip, so much the better.

If you have any questions and/or concerns about inserting a microchip on your pet, don’t hesitate to ask your veterinarian Dawsonville, GA about them.  Read more here.
