Preparation for the Storm
As Storm Éowyn approaches this Friday, the UK is getting ready for some rather severe weather, with strong winds predicted to sweep across the country.
North Wales is on high alert, as an amber wind warning has been issued, warning that gusts along the coast could reach a staggering 90 mph (145 km/h).
Creating a Safe Space for Pets
During such turbulent times, ensuring the safety of your family—both human and furry—is paramount.
With this in mind, Terel Edmunds from BBC Wales offers insightful tips to help pet owners safeguard their beloved animals when the storm hits.
First and foremost, create a cozy retreat for your pets where they can escape the noise and commotion outside.
Choose an area away from windows and doors, helping them to feel shielded from the screaming winds.
If your usual dog walking routine is scheduled for the stormy day, it might be best to rethink that plan.
Instead, consider indoor activities that can keep them engaged and active without exposing them to the elements.
Essential Supplies and Comfort
It’s wise to prepare for the worst by stocking up on essential supplies such as pet food and other necessities.
This way, you won’t have to brave the weather for last-minute trips.
Remember, pets can often pick up on our anxiety during storms, so this is a great time to offer them some comfort.
Familiar toys, blankets, or other beloved items can go a long way in soothing their nerves.
Let’s ensure all members of our household feel secure as we tackle this storm together—including our four-legged friends.
With thoughtful preparation and a little extra care, we can create a safe and snug environment for everyone to ride out the storm.
