Label pet carriers with the pet's name, as well as the owner's name, address and phone number. Once implanted, the chip becomes a permanent means of identification. Keeping Pets at Home Bring the pet inside. Make sure it has enough fresh water, food and medication. Store pet foods in waterproof containers.
Storms can be very frightening to animals.
A vet may also offer tranquilizers to keep the pet calm. Consult with the veterinarian about other supplies that may be needed. Board them in barns strong enough to withstand hurricane-force winds. If no such shelter is available, make arrangements to evacuate the animals at least 72 hours before the storm is scheduled to hit. If there is no other choice, turn horses and livestock out into open pasture, where they might have a better chance of survival than they would in an unstable shelter.
