We have all recently been thinking about things like "making our disaster plan" or "creating an emergency kit"....all good things. Just a reminder to consider your dogs when making these plans. Animals will of course be going with us, so here are some of the things to put aside in a little kit that is ready-to-grab, along with our personal emergency kit. Get this done and then rest assured your pet will be as ready as you are if and when disaster strikes:
- an extra leash and harness or collar
- 2 bowls or container that will suffice for meals
- bottled water, enough for several days
- several cans of food and can opener
- dry food packaged to prevent mold
- 1 month of any required pet medications
- an extra ID pet tag with your personal information
- complete pet medical history written out with vet contact information
- calming meds if needed
- dog or Kong
- collapsable crate for smaller dogs
