Merry Christmas: Ottawa veterinary practices are suffering during the holidays

Most of us don’t think about how to prepare ourselves for a natural disaster,
let alone our pets. After the recent mass flooding event in the Ottawa Valley,
it’s clear that disasters can happen close to home. Instead of having the

FEMA advises public to prepare pets for natural disaster
American families may be prepared for a natural disaster but are their
pets ready? September is National Preparedness Month sponsored by the United
States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and
the organization is urging the public to prepare in advance for all types of
natural disasters.
“You should do the basics to prepare for hurricanes or any other type of
disaster – be informed, make a plan, build a kit and get involved,” FEMA Region
6 Administrator Tony Robinson said in a September 8 press release. “We
encourage you to take things one step further and make sure you are financially
ready too.”
