Disaster Kit For Your Pets

Posted on August 9, 2010 by Danny Meek

Today we continue with our hints from the Red Cross and other agencies on adequate preparation for your pets and pending disasters.


Whether you are away from home for a day or a week, you'll need essential supplies. Keep items in an accessible place and store them in sturdy containers that can be carried easily (duffel bags, covered trash containers, etc.). Your pet disaster supplies kit should include:


• Medications and medical records (stored in a waterproof container) and a first aid kit.


• Sturdy leashes, harnesses, and/or carriers to transport pets safely and ensure that your animals can't escape.


• Current photos of your pets in case they get lost.


• Food, potable water, bowls, cat litter/pan, and can opener.


• Information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian in case you have to foster or board your pets.


• Pet beds and toys, if easily transportable.
