Be Prepared - Safety Tips for Pets During Times of Disasters.

It can be hurricane season, fire, flood, whatever it is, you should be ready, so you can keep your pet sound and safe.

What you need to prepare for an emergency:
*Keep pet carriers, leashes,harnesses and dog tag in good condition and reachable.
*Place medications and medical records, including proof of current vaccinations, in a waterproof container
*A two week supply of any medication your pet may be taking on a regular basis and familiar food and water.
*An information sheet including: medical conditions and treatment schedule if needed, feeding instructions, name and phone number of your vet or a kennel outside your area in case you need it.
*Photos of your pet in case it gets lost.
*Attach your name and information to the back of the dog tag, if you know the phone # where you'll be, add it too.
*Today there are many friendly pet hotels/motels, make a list and phone #, maybe you'll need to use it.

I know you know it all. But we usually postpone things and them we are sorry........
