🐾 June is National Pet Preparedness Month 🐾
Would you be ready to evacuate with your pet if a hurricane, wildfire, tornado, flood, or other disaster struck tomorrow?
The best time to prepare is before an emergency happens. Every pet owner should have a Pet Emergency Go-Bag packed and ready to go.
✅ 3–10 days of your pet's regular food
✅ Plenty of bottled water
✅ Food and water bowls
✅ Any medications your pet takes
✅ Current vaccination records and medical records
✅ A pet first aid kit
✅ A recent photo of your pet
✅ A photo of you with your pet (helps prove ownership if separated)
✅ Collar with ID tags
✅ Leash
✅ Secure carrier or crate
✅ Waste bags and sanitation supplies
✅ Microchip information and registration details
✅ Favorite toy, blanket, or comfort item
✅ Contact list including:
• Family or friends outside your area
• Your veterinarian
• Emergency veterinary hospitals
• Pet-friendly hotels
• Local emergency management contacts
⭐ Important: Make sure your pet's vaccinations are current. Many shelters, boarding facilities, and pet-friendly hotels may require proof of vaccination before accepting animals during an evacuation.
⭐ Also check that your pet's microchip registration is up to date with your current phone number and address. If you need help, let us know.
Take a few minutes this month to create a plan and pack a kit. When disaster strikes, being prepared can save precious time—and could save your pet's life.
Because our pets depend on us to keep them safe. ❤️🐾
