Cyclones and floods can be devastating for families and their pets. Once the waters recede, ensuring your pet's safety and well-being is crucial. This guide outlines key steps to take after a flood to keep your furry companions healthy and secure.

Inspect Your Surroundings Before Letting Pets Outside
Storms and Floodwaters can leave behind hazardous debris, toxins, and contaminated water. Before allowing your pets outdoors, check your home and yard for:

• Sharp objects, such as broken glass or metal
• Chemical spills or fuel contamination
• Dangerous wildlife that may have been displaced
• Unstable structures or weakened fences

If floodwater remains, keep pets away from it to prevent infections and illnesses.

Look for Signs of Illness or Injury
Even if your pet seems fine, floods can expose them to various health risks, including infections, injuries, and stress-related conditions.
