Keeping Furry Friends Safe During Fire Damage Restoration

Dog owners are understandably very relieved when their pets survive a home fire with no harm. However, they still worry about whether their pets will be safe during fire damage restoration in their Orlando homes. SERVPRO customers often ask us if it is safe for their pets to stay in the house while we work.

Can your pet stay in your home while SERVPRO is working?

We recommend moving your dog to a safe location outside of your home. Depending on the extent of the fire , there could be many hazards for them in your house:

• Nails, glass, or broken bits of wood on the floor
• Hanging drywall or collapsed ceilings
• Firefighting chemicals or leftover water from fire hoses

It is best for your pet – and better for your peace of mind – if you can arrange for them to go to a shelter or stay with a trusted friend or family member.
