We care for your pet like they’re part of our family!
Pet Em e rge n cy Pl an s & Pre p are dn e ss K i ts By Nan cy Mose r , DVM Emergencies and Natural disasters, like hurricanes, tornadoes and floods, can have varying severities and effects on our communities. That’s why it’s so important for families to make an emergency plan, including a plan for their pets. If an evacuation is ever needed, having your pet’s emergency plan and an emergency preparedness kit, or “Go Bag”, ready will give you one less variable to worry about! Your pet’s “Go Bag” can be a simple small backpack or a larger plastic storage bin, depending on how many pets you have and your needs. Below you will find a list of recommendations and common items to include in your pet’s emergency plan and preparedness kit: • Keeping vaccines up to date and having hard copies of current vaccine records • Getting your pet microchipped and ensuring it is registered with your information • A list of animal-friendly evacuation shelters and emergency animal hospitals in your area • A leash and collar with an ID tag • A pet carrier
