All of north Georgia is under a Flood Watch until Friday afternoon. With the threat of severe weather moving in, it’s always best to have a preparedness plan for your pets.

The kit should include:

  1. 1. Food and water: Ensure your pet has enough food and water for at least three days. 2. Medications: Keep a supply of your pet’s medications, including a list of dosages and expiration dates. 3. Veterinary records: Include copies of your pet’s vaccination records, medical history, and any other important documents. 4. Collar with ID tags: Make sure your pet has a collar with an ID tag that includes your contact information. 5. Leash and carrier: Have a leash and a carrier ready for transporting your pet safely. 6.

    Animals, particularly those in transit or under stress, can pose a risk to themselves and others if not properly secured. Keeping them in carriers and crates offers several benefits:

    1. 1. Safety: Carriers and crates provide a secure environment that prevents animals from escaping or causing harm. For instance, during a flight, a loose dog might panic and injure itself or others. A well-secured carrier can prevent such incidents. 2. Comfort: Animals are often stressed during travel due to unfamiliar surroundings, noise, and movement. Carriers and crates can offer a sense of familiarity and comfort, reducing stress levels. For example, a cat in a carrier might feel more at ease surrounded by its own scent and familiar items.
