Medication

If your pet is taking medication or supplements regularly make sure to have an extra month’s supply on hand.

Thunder Vests

Weighted vests have been proven to help animals with anxiety and can be a lifesaver to prepare for hurricane season and the intense storm season in Florida.

Shot Records

Airlines and hotels may require you to show proof of your animals’ shots. Make sure you put a copy in your go box when you make it.

List of Pet-friendly Hotels

When storms come the power is likely to go out without having the internet it will be hard to secure a hotel especially one that takes pets. Prepare ahead of time with a list of pet-friendly locations and their phone numbers.

Pet Carrier

Make sure you have enough carriers to comfortably transport all of your pets. If you have reptiles in large aquariums a small tank should work for a temporary home. 

Make a Go Box

If an evacuation becomes necessary there is enough to do without having to pack for your pets. Keep a bin with extra food, medication, treats, brush, bowls, shot records, and toys. It will save you precious time and energy in the event of an emergency. Plus a couple of new toys will help keep your pets entertained.

Stay Calm During Hurricane Preparation
