When Pets Face Emergencies

When Pets Face Emergencies

A Practical Guide to Preparation, Safety, and Recovery

$11.95

Emergencies do not always provide time to stop and decide what to do. A wildfire, flood, severe storm, household hazard, medical emergency, evacuation order, or missing pet can quickly leave an owner facing unfamiliar and difficult decisions.

When Pets Face Emergencies helps pet owners prepare before those decisions must be made. This compact Guide brings together practical information for protecting pets at home, evacuating safely, responding to common hazards and medical emergencies, managing temporary living arrangements, and helping pets recover after the immediate danger has passed.

This Guide is written for owners of dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians — any pet whose safety matters when emergencies strike.

The Guide is designed to be read ahead of time and kept readily accessible. Its clear sections and practical lists make it useful for everyday preparation as well as quick reference during an emergency.

Spiral binding, heavier paper and cover, and a compact size make this easy-to-read Guide a practical addition to your pet emergency supplies or bug-out bag.

A Guide for Real-Life Situations

Emergency preparation involves more than packing a bag. Pet owners may need to arrange for someone to reach their animals when they cannot get home, locate temporary accommodations that accept pets, prevent escapes in unfamiliar surroundings, recognize hazards after returning home, or continue searching patiently for a missing pet.

This Guide addresses those situations in one concise, easy-to-use resource.

Keep a copy at home, with your emergency supplies, or anywhere it can be reached quickly when plans suddenly need to become action.
