June is National Pet Preparedness Month and before the month is over, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control reminds all pet owners to create an emergency plan if they don’t already have one.
While you should be prepared for pet emergencies year-round, this month serves as a reminder to ensure you and your pets are prepared for an emergency.
“Please take the time to develop an emergency plan today,” said Marcia Mayeda, DACC director. “We recommend pet owners create two pet disaster kits, one stay-home kit and one on-the-go kit.”
Please see below for additional tips to help prepare you and your pets for an emergency.
Your kit should include:
* Three-day supply of food and water;
* Medication and copies of medical records;
* Sturdy leashes, harnesses and/or carriers to transport pets safely and ensure that they can’t escape,
* Pet identification (photos, license, microchip, vaccinations, etc.);
* Names, addresses, and phone numbers of friends, hotels and boarding facilities that will welcome you and your pets.
