Microchipping. A microchip for your pet can mean the difference between lost and found. Although tags and collars are important, they can tear or slip off. With microchipping, a veterinarian injects a tiny computer chip—about the size of a grain of rice—just under your pet's skin, between the shoulder blades.

 
 

 Here are a few tips we offered to pet owners returning to their homes after the October 2017 fires. They may be useful during similar crises in the future.

​

DOGS​

  1. Take your dog for short walks only.

  2. Human masks (N95 rated) can be used if your dog will tolerate.

  3. Please provide plenty of water and monitor intake.

  4. Be careful where you are walking if you are returning to a burn area. 

  5. When returning from walking your dog, wipe down their face and 

       paws with a DAMP cloth to remove ash.

​

CATS

  1. Keep your cats inside if possible. If they have to go outside, try to

       monitor the amount of time they spend outdoors.

  1. Please make sure they have plenty of water.

  2. Check their paws when they come in.
