April is National Pet First Aid Awareness Month
Hundreds Of Pets Lost During Natural Disasters Each Year
Each year, hundreds of pets are lost during natural disasters, and many are never reunited with their owners due to a lack of proper identification.
Veterinary Pet Insurance Co.’s veterinary expert, Dr. Silene Young offers this advice for pet owners.
Preparing for a Disaster and Evacuation:
Pet Care During and After Evacuation:
- Keep the animal confined when staying in your pre-designated temporary location and maintain confinement when you return home. – If the pet has been deprived of food, slowly re-introduce food in small portions when returning home. – View the pet’s environment and spot out any potential hazards, such as broken glass or fallen utility lines. – Take the pet for a medical check-up to ensure the animal’s health hasn’t been affected.
