If transporting small animals, birds, or reptiles and their habitats, this may require additional attention and care to help decrease chances of stress-induced illness and death. This will ensure someone can reach pet parents that are separated from their animal. Put the pet’s name along with the pet parent’s name and phone number on the crate or habitat that the pet will be transported in. Also, make sure to keep a carrier and seatbelt harness for each pet in the car to ensure safe transportation of pets. In case of an emergency evacuation, it is always a good idea to keep an extra harness in vehicles, as well as an emergency kit as an extra precaution. Take all pets including birds, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits, etc. Do not leave pets behind during evacuations.There are even puzzles for hamsters such as bedding that hamster’s can sort by color and size. During stressful situations such as evacuations or storms, keep pets mentally stimulated and entertained with food puzzles.
There are also calming agents and products like the Thundershirt that can help. Bringing along their favorite blanket or toy can often help ease anxiety.
Keep current photographs of pets with important documents. If a pet is lost during a disaster, a sharp, recent photo can be used to make flyers.A pet left outside in the elements can be injured or die, or can become easily lost. I wanted to share the following tips from San Diego-based, Petco, that can help ensure both people and pets are prepared if and when disaster strikes: As we have seen in the past 72 hours, when preparing to evacuate, it's important to also think about our furry family members and include them in emergency plans.Īlthough many residents have been allowed to return home, there are still thousands of people who are displaced and with the lack of rain and warm temperatures. Between the seven fires taking place in San Diego County, more than 44,000 homes have been evacuated.
