This week, we’re talking about how pet owners across Australia can prepare their animals for the upcoming bushfire season. Our resident veterinarian, Andrew Cornwall, shares expert advice on keeping pets safe, planning for emergencies, and ensuring larger animals like horses and livestock are looked after.

We’ll cover practical tips such as creating emergency kits with food, water, bedding, and medications, updating microchip and collar details, planning transport and evacuation, and protecting pets from heat or smoke. Early preparation is key—last-minute action can put both people and animals at risk.

Remember, bushfire season can be unpredictable, so make sure your pets are ready. For more tips, check RSPCA Australia or your local fire service.
