As a pet owner or service dog owner, it’s important to prepare for emergency situations to keep your furry friend safe. Here are some helpful tips from The Humane Society of the United States:

1. Prepare a list of pet-friendly hotels because, in emergency situations, shelters fill up pretty fast.

2. Remember that if a situation is not safe for you, it’s also unsafe for your pet/service dog.

3. If you own a service animal, know that under the ADA, your animal is required to stay by your side at all times and that includes when you are in a disaster shelter.

4. Pack an emergency kit that includes bottled water, canned dry food, two weeks’ supply of pet medication, medical and vaccination records, and more.

5. If a situation arises where you really need to abandon your pet, make sure that it has a microchip or collar with your current information.

Owner at a Service Dog Training Center Speaks up about Service Animals

Tim Franks is the Owner of On Command Canine Training Academy, a service dog training center for special needs. Because of the craze around emotional support dogs, Tim speaks up about the issue on training.

He says that people can’t put a vest on an animal and already claim it to be a service animal. Because for one, the service dogs at his facility undergo 180 hours of training. And to be clear, service dogs are trained to perform specific tasks for their handlers.

Tim adds that it’s not about the certification but rather the amount of training a dog gets. Because if a dog misbehaves in public, that could be a cause for concern.
