Pet Safety

When it comes to emergency situations we always can think of being ready for ourselves and families. We should also consider additional tips for our pet’s safety. We should have extra leashes and crates available to us. Make sure you know where the updated lists of the pet’s vaccines and records are. Maybe have a copy of them or pictures on your phone readily available. Having the phone number to your veterinarian on hand to obtain a copy may not be the best option because you may be required to product those records in a shelter and the office could be closed. Keep at least a week supply of any medications on hand. Having your pet micro-chipped is a nice if your pet becomes displaced. When pets are chipped make sure you know what their chip number is too. There is an application/website called findingrover.com sponsored by the Petco foundation.  We always need to be prepared to take care of our animals, especially during emergencies. Pre-determined plans can help you think clearer and be a bit calmer.
