Hurricane Prep: Don’t Forget Your Pets!

Let’s be real: when a hurricane’s coming, my anxiety spikes—and so does my dog’s. If you’ve ever tried to wrangle a cat into a carrier while the wind howls, you know it’s chaos. Here’s what I’ve learned (the hard way): Microchip your pets. Seriously. If Fluffy bolts during the storm, that chip is your best shot at a reunion. Vaccines aren’t just for the vet’s Instagram. Floodwater is gross, and diseases are real. Stock up: food, water, meds, litter, poop bags, and a toy or two. Don’t forget a crate—unless you want to play hide-and-seek at 2 a.m. If you evacuate, take your pets. If you can’t, arrange a safe place for them. Leaving them alone isn’t an option. Hunker down together. Treats and cuddles help everyone survive the storm (and your nerves). Hurricanes are scary, but losing your pet is worse. Prep now, thank yourself later. #PetSafety #HurricanePrep #PetCare #Pets
