During times of disaster, it is important to put a brave face and be prepared for any emergency in the best possible manner to keep your family safe. The most important thing to note is your pets cannot fend for themselves, and so you need to have essential items in your pet first aid kit that would make an ideal disaster supply kit for your pets. Your pet needs to have emergency kit items that can weather natural disasters safely. So, without wasting any more time, let us look at some of the must-have things that pet owners should put in their pet survival kit:
Water Dispense for Pets
If for unforeseen reasons, bad weather strikes, it is important to have fresh water. When you approach a store to stock up emergency supply, never forget to get fresh water for your pet. The more water supply, you can get for your family, the better it is for him. Having a week's worth of water for each family member, including your pet is the best way to look at the emergency situation.
Pet Foods
Remember, pets do not know how to gauge their craving for food and water. So, if you can get canned food for your furry pal, it would be better. It not only would keep your pet's throat moist as it contains moisture, but also ensure that you do not end up using the entire water supply quickly. But do not forget to have a can opener available with you all the time!!!
Pet Treatments
There are certain chronic diseases in pets that require regular administration of treatments for their healthy well-being. Consult with your veterinarian about the pet treatments that are essential for your furry pal before your town hits a natural calamity.
Pet Ownership Documents
Always carry photographs and ownership papers with the pet emergency kit; so that in case if you need to evacuate to a shelter, you have the ownership documents of your pet that would identify you as his pet owner.
Proof Of Recent Vaccinations
Again, in case if you need to evacuate and relocate to a shelter, there would be a case wherein you need to board your pet. There are certain clinics and boarding facilities that offer shelter to pets, but also need up-to-date vaccination details. If you need to take your furry pal to an emergency animal shelter, having a copy of vaccination records will ensure that you get a spot easily.
An Emergency Help List
During a disaster, it is important to have a back-up plan ready; in case, you are not able to do things on your own. This is where a helpful neighbor or an emergency boarding facility would come handy. Having a place where your pet is safe and secured during the duration of emergency will not only give you piece of mind, but also relieve you from the stress of taking him along with you during a disaster.
Leashes And / Or Pet Carriers
When a severe disaster strikes, your pet might panic and try to break loose so that he can hide somewhere. Due to this stampede, your pet might end up getting injured or trapped. Also, during natural calamities, situations like downed power lines, fallen debris and contaminated groundwater can be seen. Therefore, it is essential to have your pet in leashes or carry him in pet carrier so that he does not run away to unsafe places.
So, rather than being reactive; be proactive. This would help you not only to prepare for the emergency but also have a cool head while dealing with the situation heads-on.
