<title><![CDATA[Keeping Animals Safe during Heavy Rain and Severe Wind ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[When it comes to severe weather, it seems some animals have good instincts, however, companion pets such as cats, dogs and rabbits etc., due to being domesticated, may have lost a lot of their instinctual urges and need our protection. This also includes farm animals. <br />So, given Met Eireann&rsquo;s&nbsp; latest &lsquo;potential severe weather&rsquo; forecast (issued 5th November), the Dublin SPCA would like to remind pet parents to keep their animals safe.<br/>
