Think about your pet. Can your pet tolerate the cold for a period of time? Is your pet on special medications or a specific diet? If lost, could your pet be identified? These are things that must be considered when gathering supplies for your pet. An emergency supply list for your pet may include:
• An additional leash with collar, and identification tag for your cat(s) and/or your dog(s)
• Verification of rabies and other vaccinations, registration paperwork, or adoption papers placed in your family emergency kit
• Pet sweater or blanket, especially if your pet can not tolerate cold temperatures
• A supply of prescription medication
• Special dietary food, if needed
• A crate or carrier appropriate to your pet’s size
Consider micro-chipping and enrolling your pet in a recovery database. Talk to your veterinarian for more information. If you have unusual pets such as birds, lizards, fish, etc., talk to your veterinarian or local pet specialty store for advice on protecting them during emergencies.
