Animals in need due to the Iowa flooding

We live about an hour south of Iowa City where so much flooding has been going on. Cedar Rapids is an hour and a half north of here.

Today I read in CCNMoney.com that Petsmart Charities is helping with emergency pet supplies for the animals that are in need in those areas:

"PetSmart Charities will dispatch its Emergency Relief Waggin' stocked with emergency pet supplies to Cedar Rapids, Iowa today to help the pet victims of recent flooding. The 53-foot trailer contains enough pet products, food and supplies to support up to 500 companion animals."

Once again Petsmart Charities to the rescue...they are really doing some great work on behalf of animals in southeastern Iowa.

For those who can’t leave your pets behind here are some travel tips so visit your local pet supplies store:

• Make sure your pet's shots are up-to-date.
• Do not administer any medication or treatments without first discussing them with your veterinarian.
• Obtain documentation from your vet to show that your pet's vaccinations are current, and that your companion is healthy.
• If you are traveling to another country, check with that nation's embassy.
• Make sure your pets are wearing collars with current Identification tags.
• Pack any medications your pet may be taking.
• If you are traveling by automobile, think about the animal's safety as well as your own.
• Do not leave an animal unattended in a vehicle.
• Check with the Airline Carrier for specific requirements when traveling with your pet.
• Try to book a direct flight to your destination to eliminate additional stress by airline transfers.
• Call your hotel/motel ahead to confirm that pets are accepted and if any additional fees are required.

Good Dog Panda!!
