Pet Emergency Survival Kit

Include your pet in your family emergency plan. Build a survival kit for your pet and keep it with your family kit. Items in the kit will vary for different kinds of pets.

• Food and water
• Bowls, manual can opener, spoon and plastic bags
• Up-to-date ID tag (microchipping is also recommended)
• Current photo of your pet with you in case you get separated
• Emergency contact list of pet friendly hotels/motels outside your area, friends, relatives and your veterinarian
• Copies of medical records, including proof of vaccinations
• Information on feeding schedule, medical or behavioural problems
• Medications and first aid kit
• Familiar bedding materials, small toy and brush
• Leash, collar or harness, muzzle (dogs)
• Litter/pan and scooper (cats), poop n' scoop bags (dogs)
• Carrier large enough to transport and house your pet

Not all evacuation shelters take pets; arrange to take your pet to an animal-friendly place should you need to evacuate.
