Even if you’re not in a northern climate, the preparations we will talk about can help you be prepared to take care of your dog.
Conditions you can find yourself in during winter Storms:
- Snow that makes travel inconvenient or impossible
- Snow that limits your ability to exit your home
- Ice and Sleet that make moving outside dangerous and can cause injury to you or your dog
Options are Bugging in or Bugging Out
Things you can do to prepare:
Emergency Kit for Your Dog Compile a dog
-specific emergency kit including food, water, medications, and important documents. Include warm blankets, a first-aid kit, and a leash/harness for control during walks.
Shelter and Safety Ensure your dog's shelter is well-insulated and protected from drafts. Create a designated indoor space where your dog can stay warm and safe during the storm.
Cold Weather Gear Invest in cold-weather gear such as a doggy coat or sweater, booties to protect paws from ice and salt, and a dog-friendly hat to keep their ears warm.
Evacuation Plan Plan ahead for potential evacuations, identifying pet-friendly shelters or accommodations. Ensure your dog has proper identification, including a collar with contact information and a microchip.
Behavior and Exercise Keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated during indoor confinement with interactive toys and puzzles. Maintain a consistent exercise routine to help them expend energy even when it's cold outside.
