Animal Guide - Helpful Tips and Packing List

Helpful Tips From Housing

• Make sure all roommates are on the same page with the animal before and throughout your time in the dorms. Include boundaries in your Roommate Agreement! 
• Plan quick and direct routes out of your dorm building. 
• Allow your animal to acclimate, but monitor their stress levels to ensure they are comfortable here. 
• It is ideal to have basic training techniques while walking through the community. 
• Your emergency contact will become responsible for your animal if an emergency with you arises. If there is someone closer to Wichita who you would like to be the Emergency Contact for the animal only, please reach out to Housing and Residence Life to have this documented.  
• You never know when an illness or injury will pop up for your animal. Have items on hand that can help alleviate common issues such as stomach problems, cuts or scrapes, allergies, etc. If you see yourself being in Wichita throughout your entire college journey and beyond, having an established Vet can help in times as these too!
