With the potential for rainfall to reach 100mm in Alberta over the next bit, it’s best to keep dogs and cats indoors, especially if you live near a lake, river, stream, or flood plains. If you’re property is near any of the above, prepare to evacuate if there are signs of land erosion/flash flooding. Make a plan to escape if needed or hold out in the event of a power outage. Keep pets close by and keep yourself safe. There may also be thunderstorms imbedded with the rainfall. Dogs can get easily get panicked with thunder and lightning. Remember, if the water is flowing high, keep away from the edges of bodies of water so the land doesn’t crumble underneath you. No pet should have to go missing during this as long as you stay proactive and use best judgement. Video is just to help get attention on the matter.
