Make sure your pets are as ready as you are for a hurricane! Below is a list of some tips to make sure you and your pet make it through the weather with as little incident as possible.

• Keep up to date on vaccinations and keep them well documented. Pet shelters might require this to admit your pets.
• Have a current photograph of your pet ready in case they get lost in the storm.
• Make sure you have a good sized carrier for your pet. Remember they have to have room to stand up and move to be comfortable.
• If you must submit your pet to a shelter, make sure you have all the proper identification and medical records needed well before you schedule an extended stay.
• Keep a collar with identification on your pet and have a leash on hand to keep them under control.
• Keep your pet in mind when making evacuation plans and make sure they are inside during the storm at all times.
