Check often for cobwebs, mice and rodent droppings in sheds or garages, then make sure to call an expert if necessary to remove them. You might want to look around your yard and remove glass, toys and items such as bottle caps, nails, tires shredded or sharp tools. Check if there are buckets or toys such as cars, that could collect water. Then remove all the water "stand" and make these items inside. Sure you frequently change the water in all ponds or pools.

Family members should be prepared for emergencies, therefore number available to your veterinarian for everyone to find, including housekeepers or babysitters. Almost every village has also an emergency clinic 24 hours to post a number where people can easily find it too.
If a disaster occurs, or an older animal dies, it is also something that your family should be prepared. Have severe Discuss with your family on how they intend dealing with the death of a pet. Consider cremation over burial.
