In case disaster strikes, such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, wildfires, or severe weather conditions, pet owners who plan can be better prepared in the event of an emergency.
- Implant a microchip in your pet.
It may sound like something out of a spy movie but using microchips benefits you and your pet. After a storm, there may be cases wherein a pet is lost and their collars are gone – this is where the microchip comes in. Unlike licenses or collars which can be lost or detached, a microchip is implanted beneath your pet’s skin and contains a unique set of digits linked to your contact details. It can assist you in locating your pet if they become separated from you. Always maintain the most up-to-date contact info on your microchip.
- Vaccinations must be recorded and up-to-date.
If your pet suddenly escapes during a crisis, they might encounter disease-carrying animals such as rats or bacteria outside. Having an updated vaccination record or documents in your reach is essential for when your pet needs to board due to an emergency.
Call your veterinary hospital Tampa, FL to make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccinations are up to date.
