Make a 72 Hour Kit for Your Pets
January 31st, 2008
As a professional home and office organizer I also give tips on having a 72 hour kit organized and kept up to date in case of emergencies. I think if we have pets it is important to have a 72 hour kit for them too. Here is a list of items needed for your pet.
Make a 72 hour kit for your pet:
Use a backpack to put the supplies in as it is easily transported and handy to grab in an emergency.
• Food–both canned and dry if that is what your pet normally eats, include a can opener if one will be needed.
• Water, a gallon is recommended for pets.
• Medicines or a note pinned on the back pack to remind you to take the medicine from the fridge or cupboard.
• A blanket, toy, treat, collapsible food and water dish.
• Keep the carrier in a place you can get to it quickly.
• Vaccination record from your veterinary office. You may need this if you go to a shelter or hotel.
• A list of hotels who will take pets.
• Rotate the food and water to keep it fresh.
• Rope and sanitation bags
• www.bestbeprepared.com is a web site that has survival and emergency kits for animals.
