Tip #1: Get a Pet Emergency Supplies Kit.
Have it readily accessible and make sure it consists of at least the following items:
* Pet first aid kit that will cover your pets emergency medical needs. If your pets take any medications, add some extra supplies.
* Food (in water proof container) and water, 3-day ration.
* Collars with ID tags – make sure the information is current and updated. You might consider micro chipping as permanent identification as collars get lost.
* Safety harness and leash.
* Sanitation Items.
* Rescue Pet Decals – to alert rescue teams to save your pets inside the house.
* Comfort toys and blankets to take with your pets if you have to evacuate.
Tip #2: Pack a picture of your pets in case you get separated.
It will help rescue workers to identify and reunite you with your pets faster.
Tip #3: Get your pets familiar with their carriers or crates.
Usually, pets associate them with visits to the vet and become stressed at the first site of them. Let your pets play in the carrier or get them some treats to make the transition easier when the time comes.
