May 8th - Animal Disaster Preparedness Day
Having an emergency plan can benefit everyone, including your family pets. Make a supply kit for your animals that includes three days worth of food and water, bowls, medications, kennels, leashes, litter or newspaper for a cat box, and one of your pet's favorite toys. Keep copies of your pet's health records. Have your pet micro-chipped as a permanent form of identification. Be safe and take time now to prepare.
