To make evacuation easier, a pet emergency kit should be equipped with sufficient supplies for each pet you own.
Item List
The following recommended items are typically available at pet supply stores or from your veterinarian:
- A leash, harness, or pet carrier, that is large enough for your pet to stand and turn around in, is necessary. It’s also advisable to have a muzzle for any dog known to be aggressive or defensive around people or other animals.
- A properly fitting leather or nylon collar with a securely affixed ID tag that lists your address and phone number.
- Dogs and cats should wear a collar and tag at all times, whether or not they normally go outdoors. All other animals should have some type of identification.
- Microchip your pet for permanent identification, and keep your information current with the microchip company and your local animal shelter database.
