In Case of Evacuation, Pack a Kit for Your Dog
0 Comments | Posted by Suzy in Current Events, Fourmile Canyon Fire, Health and Care, Supplies and Equipment
The Fourmile fire in Boulder Co has got me to thinking - it’s time to refresh my dog’s emergency preparedness kit. Then overnight, a fire destroys homes in Detroit. Yes, we all need to get our emergency preparedness kits together for our household pets.
Benefits of a conveniently located kit:
- All of your pets items are already together so it just takes seconds to pick it up – you have more time to kennel the pets and grab the family photos
- If you can’t get home, a neighbor or friend can easily find the supplies
- Change is stressful for pets. It helps to have their favorite foods and toys.
In addition to a kit, there are other things you can do to prepare your dog for a disaster.
Updates on the animals affected by the Fourmile fire here in Colorado:
As of this morning, Humane Society of Boulder Valley is providing temporary shelter for nearly 40 dogs, cats and small mammals displaced from their homes. Their greatest needs are cat litter, towels, blankets and cash donations. (more…)
