June 1st is the official start to hurricane season, but are you prepared to keep your pets safe in case of an emergency?
The Houston Humane Society Wellness Center will offer the first 1,000 clients FREE micro-chipping to identify lost pets, free rabies shots, and an emergency getaway kit and planning guide for evacuating with your pet.
The Hurricane Pet Preparedness Campaign will take place at the Houston Humane Society Wellness Center on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays beginning June 4th. The free offer will continue through the month of June, until all 1,000 pet packets are given away.
Microchips reunite pets with their owners every day in this country. The chip, inserted into the pet’s skin using a small needle, can be read by veterinary offices and animal shelters in case the pet is lost or missing, and is the only surefire way to identify a lost animal.
As well, the city of Houston requires all pets be current on their rabies vaccinations. This campaign is an opportunity for Houston pet owners to take responsibility for their pet’s health before hurricane season hits.
· Free microchips are provided by 24PetWatch and the PETCO Foundation.
· Rabies vaccinations are sponsored by Fort Dodge Veterinary Health.
· Webster Veterinary Supplies and the PETCO Foundation are also helping supply items for the emergency evacuation kits.
No appointment is necessary to attend the Hurricane Pet Preparedness Campaign. The campaign will take place at the Houston Humane Society, located at 14700 Almeda Road, just south of Beltway 8. Please call 713-433-6421 for more details.
