Experts give tips on getting your pets ready for hurricane season

PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — When holding a dog as lovable as Twinkie, things can get slightly sloppy.

“She loves to play. She’s very social. And she just loves everybody," said Friends of Strays Adoption Manager Krista Loveless.

Loveless said microchipping is the best way to ensure dogs like Twinkie don’t lose during a hurricane.

“Take your animal to your veterinarian or low-cost clinic and have a microchip implanted right between the shoulder blades. What it does is create an ID in your pet. A safe way for them to be recognized,” she said.

Storms can be a chaotic time.
