Howling Winds Scaring Pets in North Park?

We respond to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in San Diego.

Yes. Pet anxiety is real, and our furry friends can get very anxious when thunderstorms or the Santa Ana winds whip through North Park. Our Center City Uptown team has been mitigating and restoring storm-damaged properties in San Diego for many years. Here are some tips from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) for managing your pet’s anxiety during a severe storm:

According to the ASPCA, there are many things you can do at home to help your pet. Please note that one thing does not work for all pets—so keep trying and see what works.  

• Keep calm! Your dog is aware of your emotions; they are more likely to get upset if you are.
• Let them hide. Let them stay there if they prefer to stay under the bed, in a closet, or bathroom. 
• If your pet does not have a place to hide, consider creating a safe place for them. Interior rooms with less noise or flashes of light are a good place to start.
• Try distracting your pet by playing games. You can turn on the TV, play soft music, or give them a food puzzle or kong filled with their favorite item are all great ways to distract your pet. 
• Anxiety vests or shirts may also help your pet feel calmer
