Disasters can strike without warning, and being prepared is crucial not just for us, but for our beloved pets as well. Everyone who owns a pet should have a Disaster Preparedness Pet Go Kit ready to grab and go when time is a crucial factor. This is a comprehensive guide to ensure your pets are safe and well-cared for during emergencies. For a detailed and complete guide for pet parents and pet sitters click on NAPPS Emergency Planning Guide.

1. Create a Disaster Preparedness Pet Go Kit

Just like humans, pets need a well-stocked emergency kit. Here’s what to include:

- Food and Water: At least a week’s supply or more of food and water. Don’t forget a can opener if you use canned food and non-spill food and water dishes.
- Medications: A two-week supply of any medications your pet needs, along with copies of medical records.
- First Aid Kit: Your first-aid kit should include bandages, antiseptic wipes, tweezers, pill popper, pill cutter and any specific items recommended by your vet for your particular pet.
- Sanitation: Pet waste bags, litter, disposable litter trays and a litter scoop.
- Comfort Items: Make sure to pack toys, bedding, and anything that can help reduce stress.
- Identification: Copies of registration information, adoption papers, and any other relevant documents you may have for your pet.
-Always let your pet sitter know where to locate your Disaster Preparedness Pet Go Kit.
