TRAVELING WITH YOUR PET
In case of emergency
|
Be prepared for any tum of events by knowing how to
get to the nearest animal hospital. Take first aid
supplies with you and know how to use them. An animal
in pain may become aggressive, so exercise caution
at all times.
It is not advisable to take animals other than dogs
into wilderness areas. When hiking, stick to the trail
and keep your pet on a short leash. Keep an eye out
for such wildlife as bears, big cats, porcupines and
skunks. Be aware of indigenous poisonous plants.
No matter where or how you spend your vacation, visit
the veterinarian when you return home to check for
injuries, parasites and general health.
Nature has its fury days: tornadoes, hurricanes, floods,
fires, blizzards... No one is exempt from the possibility
of being affected personally. You need to prepare
for yourself and for your animals in case of a disaster.
Emergency evacuation shelters do not accept pets,
and domesticated animals do not fare well left to
weather an emergency on their own, especially when
far from home. Avert a potential tragedy by planning
in advance where you will go with your pet in case
of evacuation. Have the name and number of a local
animal shelter and a local veterinarian handy - ask
your veterinarian for a recommendation.
Don't wait for disaster to strike. Leave as
soon as the evacuation order is announced, and take
your animal with you.
