Top Hurricane Safety Tips for Pets

Preparing in advance with a list of supplies, a bug-out bag, and knowledge of pet-friendly shelters can make things easier during the storm.

Hurricanes

Your pet's emergency kit should include food, water, pee pads, medical records, toys, medications, carriers, leashes, a can opener, and a pet first aid kit.

Emergency Kit
