To continue with the Emergency Preparedness blog theme for your pets, here are some suggestions as to what you should put into your pet emergency kit. These suggestions can be used for both dogs and cats.
1. Collar or harness and leash (The pet’s name should be on the collar tag.)
2. Proof of immunizations
3. Crate or pet carrier
4. A picture of you with your pet for pet ID of owner. Keep the picture current. Our pets don’t change much, but we do.
5. Sanitation – For cats: Litter and litter box of some sort. The litter box doesn’t need to be fancy, just a corrugated box will do or an old roasting pan. For dogs: plastic bags for waste pick up.
6. Pet first aid kit. (see previous blog)
7. Dog treats or cat treats
8. Dog toys and cat toys
9. Face masks – they could be used in case of smoke, volcanic ash, chemical air contamination, or other airborne issues.
10. For dogs: a muzzle to prevent him from biting.
Check with your area emergency teams to see if there are classes you could take for Pet First Aid.
Plan to be ready – don’t wait until the emergency arises to gather these items.
