Pet owners urged to prepare disaster kits for hurricane season
SUMMARY: With hurricane season starting Sunday, pet owners are urged to prepare disaster kits for their furry friends. Many pets, like an eight-month-old puppy Linus, fear thunderstorms. Integrative veterinarian Dr. Gary Richter recommends desensitizing dogs by playing thunder sounds at low volume indoors. Importantly, owners must include pets in evacuation plans to prevent dangerous situations for animals and first responders. Disaster kits should contain weeks of food, bowls, medications, veterinary records, microchip info, and toys, stored in waterproof containers. Unlike sudden disasters, hurricanes offer warning, allowing time to safeguard both families and pets during severe weather.

Hurricane season demands careful planning for pet safety, including creating a go-bag or disaster kit.
