Pet Emergency Kit
Assemble a 3-day emergency kit for your pet that includes essential supplies such as food and water in airtight containers, bowls, first aid items, medications, blankets, leash, collar, and a carrier (for smaller pets).
Microchip Your Pet
Keep your pet’s microchip information up-to-date, and make sure they wear an ID tag with your contact details.
Identify Pet-Friendly Hotels
Research local shelters, hotels, and boarding facilities that can provide emergency accommodations for pets.
Prepare an Emergency Plan
Create an emergency plan that includes key details to keep your family and pets safe. Outline clear evacuation routes, provide emergency contact information for your veterinarian and local animal control, identify nearby pet-friendly hotels, and designate a safe meeting spot to reunite.
Practice the Emergency Plan
Practice the emergency plan with your family and pets to ensure that everyone, including your pets, knows what to do and feels comfortable with the procedures.

Grateful for my constant companion, Doc Stella 🐾. Navigating the holiday shopping crowds or braving an airplane trip - she's not just my service dog; she's family. Stella not only guides me through physical obstacles but also eases the social pressures that once felt overwhelming. Together, we're a team, tackling the world one step at a time. Her unconditional love and support make each day more manageable, turning anxiety into empowerment. As a disabled veteran, having Stella isn't just about assistance; it's about the profound bond that allows us to take care of each other. 🌟 #TeamStella #ServiceDogLove #NavigatingLifeTogether #UnbreakableBond #VeteranSupport #ThankfulEveryday
For disabled veterans like River, having a service dog like Stella is not just a matter of practical assistance but a lifeline to reclaiming independence and navigating public spaces with confidence.

The inherent challenges and anxieties associated with crowded and unfamiliar spaces can be overwhelming for veterans like River, but the calming presence and guidance of a service dog mitigate these pressures. Stella not only provides physical support but also serves as a social buffer, reducing the anxiety associated with public interactions. The unspoken bond between a veteran and their service dog is transformative, offering not just mobility but a profound sense of balance and reassurance, empowering individuals like River to engage with the world in ways that might otherwise seem insurmountable. #ServiceDogSupport #VeteransWithDogs #AnxietyRelief #IndependenceWithStella #AccessibleSpaces #ServiceDogsInPublic #EmpowerThroughCompanionship #FlyingWithServiceDogs #InclusiveJourneys #MentalHealthMatters #NavigatingLifeTogether #ServiceDogHeroes
