In response to the flooding we recently dealt with and the fact that many other areas have had similar experiences in the past few months, not to mention that it is hurricane season, I've included a list of emergency items for your pets. It is recommended that you keep these items in a plastic storage tote in the same area you keep the emergency kit for your 2-legged family members. While we hope that you never need them, it is always best to be prepared.
The ASPCA website has much more detailed information to help you before a disaster strikes, and you can order a free Rescue Alert decal for your home. Visit their website at www.aspca.org.
Emergency Tips for Pets
3 - 7 day supply of food and water. This is for each pet. Rotate these items every few months to keep fresh.

Medications and medical records, including vaccination records. Store in a resealable plastic bag to keep dry.

Leash/harness & crate for transportation. Disposable crate liners are also a good idea.

Several small toys and things to chew on.

Remember, if it is necessary for you to evacuate your home, then it is not safe for your pets to stay there either.
While there may be an emergency shelter available to you, most will not accept pets. It makes sense to plan ahead!
