Hurricane Sandy has carved its place among the history books as we contend with the aftermath. FEMA has provided instructions on how to keep your pets safe.
- Leash your pets when they go outside in the first few days after a disaster, even in a fenced yard or area.
- Maintain close contact as familiar scents and landmarks may have been altered causing your pet to be confused.
- The behavior of your pets may change after an emergency, just as we are effected, so are they. Normally quiet and friendly pets may become aggressive and defensive.
