As June is Pet Preparedness Month, we’ve been sharing some good information on social media regarding how to include your pet in your disaster/emergency preparedness plans. Tips have included:

-Taking and keeping a selfie of you with your dog on your phone so you can prove ownership if separated;

Partnering with a neighbor to check on your pet in case you aren’t home in the event of an emergency; and

-In advance, research and make a list of pet-friendly hotels, shelters and emergency vets along your evacuation route. You can find pet-friendly hotels at www.gopetfriendly.com.

And our last tip for the month? Make sure to put together an emergency pet kit so you can quickly grab it if a disaster strikes. Click here for a printable PDF for your reference.
