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

Our local San Diego City, South West team restores storm damage throughout the year. East Village homes and businesses are buffeted each year by the Santa Ana Winds. Many pets become anxious during these wind events and don’t understand where the noise and wind are coming from, exacerbating the problem. Here are some tips from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) for managing your pet’s anxiety during a storm or wind event:

How to Help a Scared Pet

• Keep calm! Your dog is aware of your emotions; they are more likely to get upset if you are.
• Let them hide. If they prefer to stay under the bed, in a closet, or bathroom, let them stay there. 
• Consider creating a safe place if your pet does not have a place to hide. Interior rooms with less noise or light flashes 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
