Purrfect Pets

So far, I have been extremely lucky and I have not had to face the challenge of natural or man-made disasters with my cats. However, in the case of emergencies, it is important for all pet owners to be prepared to not only protect themselves, but their furry friends as well.

The National Association of Professional Pet Sitters has created a guide for preparing yourself and your pets for natural or man-made disasters. Best of all, this guide is free for you to download!

The disaster preparedness guide was created by the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters’ Disaster Prepareeness Committee. Not only does the guide include instructions on how to prepare your pets for tonadoes, thunderstorms, winter storms, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, extreme heat, wildfires, earthquakes, and volcanoes, but it also provides instructions on creating a disaster supply kit and a form for pet identification.

This guide is not only for dog and cat owners, the guide will also help bird, reptile, and other small animal owners.

A few suggestions the guide offers include:

-Keeping your pet’s vaccinations up-to-date
-Creating a disaster preparedness kit including your pet’s pet identification forms, three week supply of food, familiar toys and blankets, and vaccination records
-Reviewing your disaster plan with your family, friends, neighbors, and pet sitter

Much more information can be found in the disaster preparedness guide! Please download your free copy by visiting the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. You will find the link to download the free guide under the heading, “NAPPS Disaster Preparedness Guide for Pet Owners.”
