Be Prepared For Your Pets In An Emergency!

Be Prepared For Your Pets In An Emergency!

In life, there are things we plan and things that happen, good and bad, whether we like it or not.

Since those (bad) events can arise in an instant, if you haven’t yet coordinated you and your pet emergency preparedness, from first-aid knowledge to evacuation plans, there’s no better time to start than today.

Pet Emergency Preparedness — Evacuation

In most parts of the world, there is the potential for a variety of natural disasters: earthquakes, fires, tornados, floods, etc.

Do you have a plan to evacuate your home with your pets in a hurry?
Do you have enough supplies to quarantine with your pets either in your home or at another location for at least 7-10 days if not longer?

In case you need to evacuate your home, you should have:

  • An easily accessible and transportable emergency kit with enough food, water (purification tablets), and supplies for you and your pets, including their travel kennels.
  • An emergency evacuation plan and practice your emergency evacuation drill with your family, including any and all pets.

You will also want to know:

  • Your pets, including your cats, will come to you when called*
  • The other items you need/want to grab, time permitting — Create a checklist and keep it pinned on your refrigerator

*Do You Worry That Your Cat Or Dog Wouldn’t Come To You In The Event Of An Emergency?

If your cat or dog doesn’t come when you call them now, each and every time, whether inside or outdoors, start teaching them a good recall today.
