Are you and your pets prepared for an emergency?
In an emergency, our pets will be even more dependent on us for their safety and well being, so it is imperative that they be included in our disaster plan.
If it’s not safe for you, it’s not safe for them!
One of the essential items of disaster preparedness is an emergency kit for your pet. Whether you have a dog, cat, small animal, bird, reptile or fish, they each need an emergency kit.
Since there are such varied needs for different species of animals, you should be familiar with your particular pet’s species to know which items are needed. Consult your veterinarian for proper supplies for your pet and customize the kit to meet their needs.
Below are Emergency Pet Checklists to consider for your pet.
