Hey Pet Parents!
With the first named hurricane of 2024 on the watch list, we want you and your fur babies to be ready. Here’s a quick guide from Delhomme Animal Clinic on what to pack and how to prepare so you can stay safe and stress-free.
What to Pack for Your Pets
Carriers
Small Pets: A cozy, soft-sided carrier for cats and small dogs.
Large Dogs: A sturdy portable kennel. Make sure it’s safe and comfy.
Label Everything: Put your pet’s name and your contact info on the carrier.
Food & Water
Pet Food: Pack enough for 2-4 weeks in a resealable container.
Water: Bring bottled water to last the same amount of time.
Medications
Medications: At least a 2-4 week supply of your pet’s meds.
Preventatives: Don’t forget flea and heartworm meds.
ID & Vaccinations
Collars & Tags: Every pet needs a collar with an ID tag that has their name and your phone number.
Microchips: They’re lifesavers if your pet gets lost.
Vaccination Records: Have these on hand, just in case.
Sanitation Supplies
For Cats: Bring a litter box, litter, and trash bags.
Cleaning Supplies: Towels, newspapers for crate lining, baby wipes, and disinfecting wipes.
Other Must-Haves

Extra Labels: Have spare ID tags and contact info labels.
Pet First Aid Kit: For those just-in-case moments.
Exotic Pets: Don’t forget their entire habitat, heat lamps, and extension cords.
