Don’t forget your puppy during hurricane preparations

Since we're here in Fort Lauderdale, FL forcasts say tropical storm Faye may be a catagory 1 hurricane and may hit Fort Lauderdale next week. So here are some reminders to stock up on your puppies/dogs needs just in case. Always better safe than sorry.

#1 Food – Make sure you have at least a weeks supply, and some canned food - Keeps longer even if can gets wet.

#2 Wee Wee pads – Your dog may not be able to go out for a while due to debris in yard and downed power lines.

#3 Carriers – If you may evacuate with your puppy.

#4 Chew toys/treats – You may need to keep puppy occupied if no power, and unable to go outside.

#5 Collar/harness and leash – many times fences are damaged, make sure you can control your puppy and keep them close.

#6 Meds/vaccines – Check with your vet before a hurricane and make sure puppy is up to date on all shots, and you have enough meds if needed.
