Hurricane Preparedness Tips (3 Viewers)

Something I do for my dogs - Gumbo's annual shots are early July, while I'm there I get them to print me out what is basically an overview for each dog. So I have a record of their shots and all just in case. Most vets use the same software, so you can probably get the same (or have them email)

I keep those documents + other high importance stuff in a portable, fireproof safe. Picked it up from Target for I think $70 (you can get one for $50 without a number pad), well worth it.

I'm always looking out for extra tips for dog evacuation. If we have to leave this season, I'll get to deal with a ridiculously carsick puppy. I've tried Dramamine, he actually threw up more. I am going to ask the vet about it Friday, but if anyone has similar experience, any tips would be very welcome.

Yes! Gives you an idea for how long the power was out.

Nice, thanks

Keep Clorox wipes and empty grocery bags handy in the car. That's all I've got for that.

I have two ridiculously old barn cats. The strategy this year may change because now they are both deaf, and tolerate us better. Will they tolerate the dogs? That is the question.

Try Benadryl? Makes them sleepy, lessen the stress. I don't know where puppy rides but a different spot maybe.
Vet told me to give it to the cat when we moved, of course she refused to take it, but dogs are different, they eat anything.

We used to give our kitties (vet-prescribed) Xanax.

He rides in the backseat usually. I’m scared to test him in the front because that is even bigger nightmare to have to clean up. Hopefully we don’t have to find out!

If only we could train them to say "PULL OVER!"
Good luck with your pup, I too suffer from motion sickness, not bad but enough to call shotgun every time.
