Here some tips for keeping pets safe from a sister Patch in Chelmsford where Krista Perry is the editor.
Keeping pets safe during the storm...I have some tips from the Lowell Humane Society:
- Keep a radio or television on to mask the noise of the storm outdoors.
- Allow them to hide. This is a natural instinct to keep safe from a storm. If they have a crate this is the perfect place for them to hunker down.
- If your dog seems distressed from the storm, try giving her a gentle hug. This helps calm the nerves.
- Play games with your dogs to distract them. This is a great time to work on basic manners like down and stay or even a new trick like wave! You can also ask your dog to sit and stay while you hide treats around the room, then release them to find them.
