With damaging winds, heavy rain and severe weather forecast across Perth and surrounding areas this weekend, now is the time to make sure your furbabies are safe and secure at home.
Here are some important reminders for pet owners:
🐶 Keep pets indoors where possible
Strong winds, loud weather and flying debris can be extremely stressful and dangerous for animals.
🏡 Check fences and gates
Wild weather can loosen panels, blow gates open and create escape risks for anxious pets.
⚡ Prepare for storm anxiety
Many dogs become frightened during storms and high winds. Create a calm, safe space inside with blankets, toys and comfort items.
💧 Avoid flooded areas & large puddles
Flood water can hide hazards, sharp debris and bacteria. Keep walks short and safe over the weekend.
🐾 Dry paws & coats properly
Cold, wet pets can become uncomfortable quickly — especially puppies, seniors and smaller breeds.
🔋 Be prepared for power outages
Have fresh water, food, medications and torches ready in case conditions worsen.
Please stay safe this weekend and keep an extra eye on your FurBabies 💛
The Bureau of Meteorology has warned Perth could experience damaging winds and heavy rainfall over the WA Day long weekend.
