Hawaii Planning for Pet Friendly Evacuation Shelters
Honolulu (KHNL) - Thanks to a new law, in the event of a disaster no one can force you to leave your pet behind. This week local officials are drafting plans to accomodate people and pets at local shelters.
Janis Morita is adopting a second dog. But when asked about pet evacuation plans, "Right now we don't have one". A new law prompted by Hurricane Katrina requires states to have pet friendly shelters. The Hawaiian Humane Society's Darcie Scharfenstein explains, "In Hurricane Katrina you saw so many animals that were lost and separated from their homes."
Morita adds, "That was the sad thing that everyone had to leave their pets behind I really wouldn't want to do that."

Get To Know A Veterinarian
 If you are a pet owner, it is time that you got to know a veterinarian. Why? Because, quite simply, a veterinarian is like a doctor for your pets. If you enjoy pets enough to own one or many, then you should take the time, energy and money to properly take care of those beloved pets.
Some pet owners believe that a visit to a veterinarian is only necessary when a pet is suffering or ill. And while you definitely want to visit a veterinarian when your pets become ill or start to show abnormal symptoms, you should also schedule routine appointments for your pets just like you schedule regular appointments for you and your family to visit a physician.
There is no good reason not to give your pets the best care that you possibly can.
