Hurricane season spans six months from June 1st to Nov. 30th, and disruptive weather can impact your home at any time of the year. Have you taken the proper precautions to make sure your pet is safe during this time? The caring team at Mililani Town Center Pet Clinic in Mililani, Hawaii, understands that pets are like family, so you should consider them when you design a disaster plan. 

Here are some tips for making sure your cat or dog is ready for a hurricane:

• Make A Disaster Kit: If you have to evacuate your home on short notice, the last thing you’ll want is to be searching for your pet’s essential items. Create an emergency bag that has essentials, such as a leash, a kennel or carrier, spare food, a copy of your pet’s important veterinary records, and a blanket or bed.
• Contact Kennels: Call kennels or your veterinarian now to determine if they’re equipped to care for animals during a disaster. If you have to evacuate and head to a shelter, most won’t allow pets. Make a list of boarding facilities or hotels that will allow pets to stay during a hurricane and keep it handy, including Mililani Town Center Pet Clinic.
• Take Your Pet: If you’re forced to evacuate, it’s not safe for your pet to stay behind. Take your pet with you during an evacuation.
