When an emergency happens, pets rely on their owners to take care of them. National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day, held annually on May 8, is a reminder that it's important to have emergency plans in place.
Pet emergency kits should include:
• Food, water, and medications
• Familiar items to make pets feel comfortable
• Sanitation items
• Travel supplies
• Important documents such as identification papers, medical records, emergency contacts, and a photo of your pet.
