Dr. Carol McConnell tips for pet owners on how to prepare for an earthquake or other disaster situation: Do not leave pets behind during an evacuation. If you must evacuate without your pets, leave enough food and water to last at least 48 hours and post a note for rescue workers detailing the number and type of pets left inside, as well as where the pets were left.
Have a pet carrier and leash readily accessible. Make sure you keep it somewhere that youÂ’ll remember in the event you need to grab it quickly during an evacuation.
Know the location and numbers of emergency animal care facilities in your area. Check with your veterinarian to see if your clinic offers after-hours or emergency care. If not, perhaps they can recommend one that does for those emergency situations.
Make sure your pet is micro-chipped or registered through an identification program. For example, each VPI policyholder is issued an identification tag for their dog or catÂ’s collar that can help reunite pet owners with their pets in the event they are separated.
Pack a pet evacuation kit which should include pet food (dry and canned), bottled water and a plastic food dish. You should also include a first aid kit with the following items: Gauze for wounds; pet prescription medication; adhesive tape; nonstick bandages, towels and cloth; hydrogen peroxide (3 percent).
And because finances are the last thing you want to worry about when trying to help your pet in distress, consider a pet insurance policy to help defray some of the costs of veterinary care during these emergency situations. For information or a quote, go to petinsurance.com.
