🚨 CYCLONE ALERT: Does your pet have an emergency plan?

Cyclone Alfred is forecast to make landfall on Thursday, bring severe wind, heavy rain and flooding⚡️

⚠️ ENSURE YOUR PET HAS IDENTIFICATION ⚠️
If your pet becomes lost in severe weather, having appropriate ID can help them be reunited safely. Custom ID engraving available in store. 🧡

💡 TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR PETS ARE SAFE 💡
🧡 Create a safe and secure space for all of your animals.
🧡 Watch out for debris, incoming waters and unsafe damage to surrounding properties.

🧡 Keep your pets (including cats) indoors.
🧡 Ensure objects in your yard are tied down.

With a very heavy heart, we are sad to announce that our beautiful Boo gained her angel wings last night. 🪽

She has been part of our family for long before Pet Destination was even a dream - there through every stage of building our business, watching us grow and making sure every new cat treat was up to her high standards. 🧡

She has left a huge hole in our hearts, and we will miss her dearly. She was truly special, and we are grateful for the memories she gave us. 🐱

Rest easy, our sweet girl.
We are going to miss you very much 🧡
