KEEPING YOUR PETS SAFE AND RELAXED DURING STORMS

Whether it’s heavy rain, thunderstorms or hurricanes, severe weather can be hard for our pets to adjust to. Just like it is important to prepare your family, belongings and home to stay safe during upcoming storms, you can take action to prepare your pet as well!

BEFORE A STORM BEGINS
We don’t always have a lot of warning before severe weather hits, but taking the following precautions ahead of time, when possible, can make a huge difference in your pet’s safety and comfort.

Make sure your pets have appropriately fitting collars with up-to-date ID tags. Loud noises and strong winds can spook even then the calmest of pets. It is critical that your pet can be quickly identified and returned to you should they get loose during a storm.

Keep an eye on the forecast and give your pet a chance to go outside before the storm begins. Your pets will feel better and so will you if you can get potty time out of the way when it’s still safe and dry out!

Set up a safe, comfortable space for your pet to take refuge in. Many pets like to hide during storms. Setting up a cozy crate in a dark room for your dog or leaving access to a safe closest for your cat can help them feel safer.

DURING A STORM
Once a storm begins, it’s important to keep your pet supervised and as calm as possible! Here are a few safety tips to follow.

Keep your pets safely confined indoors. We do not recommend leaving pets outside unsupervised and urge limiting the amount of time outside as much as possible.

Crate your pet if you need to shelter in a hallway or bathroom. Keeping your pet in their crate while you shelter from a storm can help ensure you know where they are and that they are safe!

Play calming music or white noise to help drown out the sound of the storm. Try turning on the television or playing music from a playlist of calming music for pets!

Distract your pet with treats and chews. Giving your dog a special stuffed Kong toy or pulling out your cat’s favorite treats can help keep their focus off the weather.

AFTER A STORM PASSES
Even though a storm may have passed, it’s still important to follow these tips to ensure your pets safety!

Check your yard/home/surroundings for damage that may harm your pet. Severe weather can cause damage quickly. Before letting your pet out into the yard, make sure your fence is intact and your yard is clear of any debris.

Consult your veterinarian if your pet seemed very anxious. We recommend taking to your vet if you feel your pet really struggles with storm anxiety. Behavioral medication could be a good fit to better support your pet during severe weather.

KEEP PETS SAFE IN THE HEAT

The summer months can be uncomfortable—even dangerous—for pets and people. It's difficult enough simply to cope with rising temperatures, let alone thick humidity, but things really get tough in areas that are hit with the double blow of intense heat and storm-caused power outages, sometimes with tragic results.

We can help you keep your pets safe and cool this summer. Follow our tips for helping everyone in your family stay healthy while hot.

Practice basic summer safety.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR PETS IN A PARKED CAR

Not even for a minute! Not even with the car running and air conditioner on. On a warm day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. On an 85F-degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102F degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120F degrees. Your pet may suffer irreversible organ damage or die.

WATCH THE HUMIDITY
"High humidity amplifies the negative impact of high temperature on your pet—and in combination, these factors magnify the danger zone," says Dr. Barbara Hodges, DVM, MBA, of the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association. "When animals pant, moisture from their lungs evaporates and helps reduce their body heat. But high humidity conditions hamper that process and their ability to cool themselves, and their body temperature can skyrocket—rapidly—to dangerous, or even lethal, levels."

Taking a dog's temperature will quickly tell you if there is a serious problem. Dogs' temperatures should not reach over 104 degrees. If your dog's temperature does, follow the instructions below for treating heat stroke.

LIMIT EXERCISE ON HOT DAYS
Take care when exercising your pet. Adjust intensity and duration of exercise in accordance with the temperature. On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours, and be especially careful with pets with white-colored ears, who are more susceptible to skin cancer, and short-nosed pets, who typically have difficulty breathing. Asphalt gets very hot and can burn your pet's paws, so walk your dog on the grass if possible. Always carry water with you to keep your dog from dehydrating.

DON'T RELY ON A FAN
Pets respond differently to heat than humans do. (Dogs, for instance, sweat primarily through their feet.) And fans don't cool off pets as effectively as they do people.

PROVODE AMPLE SHADE AND WATER
Any time your pet is outside, make sure they have protection from heat and sun and plenty of fresh, cold water. In heat waves, add ice to water when possible. Tree shade and tarps are ideal because they don't obstruct air flow. A doghouse does not provide relief from heat—in fact, it makes it worse.

COOL YOUR PET INSIDE AND OUT
Whip up a batch of quick and easy DIY pupsicles for dogs. And always provide water, whether your pets are inside or out with you.

Keep your pet from overheating indoors or out with a cooling body wrap, vest or mat. Soak these products in cool water, and they'll stay cool (but usually dry) for up to three days. If your dog doesn't find baths stressful, see if they enjoy a cooling soak.

WATCH FOR SIGNS OF HEAT STROKE
Extreme temperatures can cause heatstroke. Some signs of heatstroke are heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, seizure and unconsciousness.

Animals are at particular risk for heat stroke if they are very old, very young, overweight, not conditioned to prolonged exercise, or have heart or respiratory disease. Some breeds of dogs—like boxers, pugs, shih tzus and other dogs and cats with short muzzles—will have a much harder time breathing in extreme heat.

HOW TO TREAT A PET SUFFERING FROM HEAT STOKE
Move your pet into the shade or an air-conditioned area. Apply ice packs or cold towels to their head, neck and chest or run cool (not cold) water over them. Let them drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. Take them directly to a veterinarian.
