When a tornado strikes, ensuring the safety of your entire family, including pets, is a top priority.
With Torshel’s tornado shelters you can rest assured that your human and furry loved ones are in a secure and protected environment.
Torshel’s tornado shelters are designed with this in mind, making them pet-friendly so you can bring your furry companions along. Smaller animals can be placed in crates and readily carried into the shelters. For larger pets, it’s recommended to conduct regular emergency drills to help them get accustomed to the enclosed environment.
With an in-ground shelter, getting larger pets inside may be more challenging and require additional training. However, with the right preparation, it can be done. Treats can be a useful tool to lure them into the shelter. Remember to include essential items for your pets in your emergency kit, such as pet food, water, treats, and your veterinarian’s contact information. Preparing these items in advance ensures you won’t be caught off guard during an emergency.
For families with larger pets, Torshel recommends installing above-ground units. These units are designed to be easily accessible for larger animals, making evacuation smoother and less stressful for you and your pets.
