To help families with pet companions act quickly during a crisis, our friends at Hill’s Pet Nutrition recommend creating a pet emergency kit.
The kit should include:
– Basic first aid supplies
– 3-day supply of water and pet food in a waterproof container
– Safety harness and leash
– Waste cleanup supplies
– Any pet medication and medical records
– Contact list for vet’s and local pet care organizations
– List your pet’s feeding routine and any behavior issues
– Comfort items like a blanket or toy
