⛈️ Storm Safety for Pets – Perth Weather Alert 🐾
With storms and wild weather expected across Perth this weekend, now’s the time to prepare your pets and keep them safe and calm at home.
Here’s how you can help your furry family members:
🐶 Keep pets indoors
Bring pets inside before the storm hits. Thunder, lightning and strong winds can cause panic and lead to pets escaping.
🏡 Create a safe, calm space
Set up a quiet, secure area with their bed and favourite toys. Close windows and curtains to reduce noise and flashes.
🎶 Use calming sounds
Playing soft music, white noise or the TV can help mask thunder and create a more relaxing environment.
🧸 Provide engaging distractions
Keep busy minds occupied with playtime, puzzle toys or long-lasting treats like frozen Kongs to help reduce anxiety.
🔒 Check fences & ID tags
Storms can damage fences and gates. Make sure your pet’s ID tag and microchip details are up to date.
⚡ Avoid going outside during storms
Skip walks until it’s safe—flooding, debris and lightning pose serious risks.
🚗 Be prepared
Have a pet emergency kit ready (food, water, medications, leash/carrier) in case you need to leave quickly.
💔 Watch for signs of anxiety
Panting, pacing, shaking or hiding are common signs. If your pet struggles during storms, talk to us about calming support options.
🌧️ After the storm
Check your yard for hazards like fallen branches or debris before letting pets back outside.
