💨⚠️ S T O R M I S H A ⚠️💨
Extremely high winds forecast with Storm Isha‼️
What does that mean for us as dog owners and walkers? It means that there is a greater chance of our dogs getting loose and lost☹️
💨 Risk of winds blowing down fences or blowing open gates.
✅ Step out into the garden to check that it’s secure before letting your dog out.
💨 Risk of things blowing over, noises, dogs being spooked and running off on walks.
✅ Make sure microchip and tags are up to date incase the worst happens.
💨 Dogs can’t use their sense of smell so keenly, which means they are at a disadvantage when out and about, and can lose their way back to you.
✅ Keep dogs on lead during their walk, even if familiar.
💨 High winds and changes in pressure can agitate dogs, which means they can display sign of anxiety, restlessness and they can become unsettled and hyperreactive to stimuli.
✅ Follow familiar routes, reassure where necessary, keep calm and praise at every opportunity.
