Preparing For Pet Survival In Advance Of An Emergency

There are people who have pets at their homes and
are so attached to them that they will not leave
their home during a crisis. There are also pet
owners in a panic laden situation that forget to
carry their pets with them. The occupants then do
not even have the option of going back and bring
their pets along, resulting often times in a
tragic death of a helpless animal. The thought
of losing our pets during a crisis can definatly
make you feel stressed. Pets cannot discriminate
between a dangerous and an ordinary situation
and that is where you can help. With the sudden
outbreak of a disaster, the circumstances may
force the occupants to vacate their house within
minutes. It is necessary for the owners to be
prepared. When a disaster strikes human life
definitely comes first then the pets. Essential
services like water, food, and life support
equipment are often lacking when it comes to
treating pets. For surviving such shortfalls,
you should ensure that when a crisis occurs,
your pet is secured and cared for. Here are some
simple tips and tricks to follow:

Know where your pets can be brought to during a
crisis. Gather relief information from multiple
resources and local organizations; so that when
a crisis happens you know where to get help.
Keep your neighbors informed that you own a pet
and keep your neighbors contact information with
you or in your pet emergency kit.

Prepare a list in advance of your pet's unique
needs. Keep your pets' vaccination card and
records with you. Make an ID card for your pet
or use a dog tag ID, providing the necessary
information like contact name, address, and
phone numbers. Have pet survival kits ready with
items like food, water, bowels, cages, pet
vaccines, bandages, blanket, vet information,
pet medicines, extra ID tags, leashes, collars,
medicines, photos of your pet, ownership papers,
and health records to prove your ownership.

Also, train your pet how to come, sit, heel,
board vehicles and remain in a transport kennel.
In addition, train your pet to differentiate
between objects that should be gotten close to
and the ones that are dangerous and to respond
to your command.

The bottom line is preparing for pet emergencies
in advance is the main factor that will help save
your pet in a crisis. Gather the information and
get your pet survival kit started today.
