Pet owener should plan ahead for hurricane season. Last year hundreds of New Orleans residents wouldn’t evacuate because they couldn’t take their pets with them. Don’t leave them outside on a chain with food and water, don’t leave them in the house with food and water. You just don’t know what’s going to happen.
Make sure the place you’re going will happily house your pet. There are all sorts of web sites you can go on and get lists of hotels. Just do a search for pet friendly hotels.” If a hotel isn’t an option for you,find a family member or a friend who lives farther north. See if you, or just your pet can stay there.Many animals were displaced after last year’s hurricanes, be sure your pet is wearing identification and don’t wait until the last minute to decide your evacuation destination.
