Hurricane Prep for Dogs
My question is, does anyone have a hurricane prepare "kit" for their dog? Like extra food, etc in case of evacuation? I am now getting one ready and wondering what else to add to it...I have an extra sealed bag of food, bottled water, any meds, hmmm...what else??? |

| Good question!!!
Here's some more things off the top of my head. Doggy doo bags. Booties to protect from debris Maybe an extra leash and slip collar Maybe a collar tag with identification and a contact for someone out of the hurricane area Microchipping (also with dual contact info) |
| A picture of your dog for re-identification purposes. |
| Copy of immunization records. (In case you have to board or need to have them treated for something)
A toy or blanket for comfort. Bowl or container for food & water. |
| i've been threatening to sell this place and move to my dream house on Ambergris Caye in Belize. It's for sale........and i have coveted this place for 6 years now.
Then i think that this is an island i'm talking about........ so i would have to sell my volvo anyways as only transport on island you own golfcarts! lol. I would have to buy a cabin cruiser boat so i could put crates in the hold for all dogs and peepers kitty so i could leave the island at first hint of hurricane to get out of the way............ down the coasts.......... something tells me living on the island with 7 oes and a cat might not be practical............ lol. but i sure do love this home there!!

| I recently joined the animal rescue team in our community(SMART TEAM). They supplement the local SPCA with a 24/7 call line for animal rescue (our local SPCA is only open 9-5). SMART published a newsletter with all kinds of info on disaster preparedness, I'll dig it out when I get home from vacation.
But there are two things I remember, In a disaster a microchip can be invaluable. I have never been a big believer in micro chips because I always use a collar and tag but it was pointed out that in a disaster a collar can get lost. The other thing I had never thought about was a picture of YOU WITH your dog to prove ownership!! |
| Wow, what great tips! I'm glad I asked...I never thought of the microchip for disaster...or a picture of me and my dog or even a copy of the immunizations. Thanks everyone. the dog will be more prepared than me! All I know is he will be with me wherever I go. No way would he ever be left behind!
I also thought a small first aid kit with some bandages, stop bleed, etc. Anything else, please post...thanks. And then let's hope we never need it! Diane |
Good topic - and great ideas!  We all hope we'll never need them, but it's better to be safe than sorry.  |
