evacuation routes beforehand and identify the vehicles or trailers required to transport and support each type of animal.
Make sure that your emergency destination has food and water, and access to veterinary care and handling equipment.
If you need to evacuate and cannot take your large animals, you’ll have to determine how and where to move them to shelter or if it’s better to turn them outside, the FDA said in a news release.
Previously well-behaved pets may become aggressive or defensive after a major disruption in their lives and may not return to normal for several weeks. Monitor your pet and give it plenty of time to rest.
If your pet remains extremely anxious or has other behavioral or health problems, contact your veterinarian, the FDA advised.
