GSPCA Issues Advice as Storm Austin Brings High Winds to Guernsey

The GSPCA is urging islanders to take extra care with their pets, livestock and local wildlife as high winds associated with Storm Austin pass through the Bailiwick.

Strong winds and heavy weather can present significant risks to animals, particularly those housed or kept outdoors. The GSPCA is encouraging owners to check that all animals have access to safe, secure shelter, fresh water, food and protection from the elements.

The GSPCA is reminding pet owners, horse owners and those caring for farm animals that fireworks will be happening during November and there is an event tonight at 7pm at Maison Daval Farm GY6 8LB.

Whilst fireworks can be enjoyable for many people, they can be a frightening experience for animals. Every year the GSPCA receives reports of pets becoming distressed, escaping from homes and gardens, and livestock becoming alarmed by the unexpected noise and flashes.
