As we are well aware right now the cyclone is predicted to head in land.
It always best to be prepared than not be prepared.
So while making sure everyone is safe, have plenty of batteries, candles, torches, water and essential items. Dont forget our furbabies.
Have a safe dry area (even if its the garage) for them to sleep.
If they are prone to anxiety, especially during storms, have thunder jackets, anxiety medication, natural anxiety treats and/or a crate (covered and with a soft blanket or bed) ready to go. Whatever you have found best for them.
Many dogs like dens and safe, dark places to hide so a covered crate or even a space under a table could be beneficial.
It is perfectly ok to give them reassurance. In cases of storms it is not reinforcing any behaviours, it is about them knowing from you they are safe.
Be prepared and be safe everyone.
