If it isn\u2019t safe for you, then it isn\u2019t safe for your pets. Do not leave your pets behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep a list of nearby pet-friendly hotels or ask a close friend if your pets can stay with them. If you\u2019ll need to stay in a shelter, it\u2019s important to remember that pets usually aren\u2019t allowed in these facilities. Our veterinarian can provide you with a list of boarding facilities and even animal shelters that accept pets during emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s good to have a bag of emergency supplies and provisions ready to go for your pet, so you\u2019ll be ready should an emergency and evacuation order strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When packing emergency pet supplies, plan for the worst. Assume you won\u2019t be able to return home for several weeks. Bring food, water, medications, and everything your pet needs like a carrier, bedding, litter, food and water bowls, toys, an extra leash, and ID tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s also important to keep a copy of your pet\u2019s vaccination records in your emergency kit in case you need proof of vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your pet should always have a collar and ID tags, but a microchip will come in extra-handy in the event of a chaotic emergency situation. If your pet happens to go missing, ID tags can easily become lost. A pet microchip serves as a form of permanent identification and will increase the odds of being reunited with a lost pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
