Some displaced people from Ukraine decided to take their pet(s) with them when they were forced to flee their country. It’s important for owners to take their pets to a vet as soon as possible for identification and registration purposes, as well as a risk assessment for rabies (https://www.rivm.nl/rabies) and any other animal diseases which are common abroad. The vet can determine the titre of rabies. Any Ukrainian pets must also be fully vaccinated for animal diseases which occur in the Netherlands and must be treated for worms, ticks and fleas.

• Please contact the vet immediately if the pet becomes ill or starts to display different behaviour. 
• Applications for support for medical costs can be submitted via info@hulpvoordierenuitoekraine.nl. 
• Be mindful of other infectious diseases and keep the animal separate, with appropriate interactions to prevent any possible infection. Please contact a vet should you have any questions regarding this.
• Provide a safe place for the pet: possibly a shelter and/or a covered crate. The pet could well have been through a great deal, including extreme noise levels and other unpleasant experiences and can therefore react differently to what you may expect
• Keep pets on a leash, or house them in a separate transport box or crate, preferably as close as possible (same space) to the owner. This relationship is going to be of vital importance to both the owner and the pet under these circumstances
• Avoid scratching, licking and biting at all times, at least until the rabies status has been confirmed. Neither people nor other animals should therefore be playing with these pets, cats should be kept indoors and dogs should be kept on a leash. Also avoid all possible contact with urine and faeces
• Wear gloves and a face mask when cleaning the pet’s housing
• Don’t use pressure washers, as these will spread fine droplets of potentially infectious material
• Contact a vet immediately in case of any possible biting incidents between animals.
• Contact your GP immediately in case of biting incidents with volunteers/employees and explain what type of pet caused the biting/scratching

Sirens are tested on the first Monday of every month in the Netherlands. You will hear the sirens go off for approximately a minute at midday. Don't worry, this is just a test.
