What to do during the storm
Gifted with heightened senses we don't have, pets can become confused, agitated, and fearful even before a natural disaster strikes. Be alert for your pet acting strangely. Pets will sometimes isolate themselves when they become stressed or afraid. For greater control of your pet, bring them in immediately to keep them from bolting in panic and secure them by leash, carrier or a special room. Never, ever leave a pet outside or tied up during a storm.
Avoid excessive handling if the animal is highly agitated. If the animal is confined to a carrier, it sometimes helps to place the carrier in the room with the family where the pet can see and be with the family but is contained.
