Earl is headed our direction

From the Halifax, Nova Scotia, News comes a good primer on taking precautions to prepare for Hurricane Earl.

Read the article here.

The Nova Scotia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says, while Earl has been downgraded from a category 4 hurricane to a 3, it is still important to get pets inside and keep them calm.

Precautions include the following:

1. Ensuring vaccinations are up-to-date and that records are handy.

2. Keeping a collar with license and identification on your pet.

3. Preparing a special kit for your pet that includes a leash, carrying case, food, water, bowls, toys, medications and any special instructions for the care of your pet.

4. Put a sign on your door that indicates how many pets live at your residence in the event that you must leave your home.

Good advice. Everyone stay safe.
