Take Care of Your Fur Babies During Severe Weather!

Monsoons bring very unpredictable weather patterns and unique danger. The dry Arizona deserts are vulnerable to heavy rain, thunderstorms, and fast flooding dangers. Keep your furry friends safe by making sure that you have a pet safety plan in place.

Here are some ideas to help keep your furry friends comfortable and safe during the monsoon season.

1. Keep your pets inside. When weather strikes, a pet can become frightened quickly. Make sure that even if you let them outside to do their business that all gates are secured.
2. Some pet families consider putting a tight shirt on their pet to reduce anxiety.
3. Give them a safe place to wait for the storm out where they feel secure. Providing them with some of their favorite toys or treats may help ease their anxiety.
4. Create an emergency pet kit with a leash, food, bowls, fresh water, and any medications.
5. Make sure that your pets are kept on a leash and out of washes and fast running water after the storm. Heavy storms lead to flash flooding.

Take a few precautions during monsoon season and your fur baby will thank you.
