Emergency Preparedness: The Essential Guide for Dog Owners
From the American Kennel Club:
"Prepare a Dog First Aid Kit - Most emergencies require a first aid kit. This kit should include medical supplies, food and water, and anything you may need to care for an injured dog. Along with any first aid supplies, it may be helpful to include a copy of your dog’s medical records, vaccination records, and emergency phone numbers."
"Pet Evacuation Checklist - Evacuations are stressful. You may have to leave behind valued possessions, and you’ll often have very little time to decide what to take. The last thing you want to worry about is what your dog will need. Put together an evacuation checklist for pets ahead of time that covers the essentials. Make sure you and anyone who regularly watches your pet know where to find your dog’s food, medications, medical records, leash, and crate."
