💥 Pet Preparedness Plan 💥
While it’s not fun to imagine, do you have a plan for your pet in case you get sick? Worrying about your pets, can be very stressful, especially if you live alone. This is a good time to have a plan for our current situation and in the future for any kind of emergency. And, we would like to help! 💕
Here are steps to creating a plan for you and your family.
1️⃣ As long as it is possible, keep your pet at home. That is the best place for them, where they are comfortable and loved. If you aren’t feeling well, but still able to care for your pet, this will help you and your pet. Be sure to let friends or family know, if you are alone. If you have family in the home, let them do the work. According to the CDC, there is no evidence that people can get COVID-19 from pets.
2️⃣ If you become too ill to care for your pet or you need to be hospitalized, do you have someone to care for your pet? Check with your family, friend or neighbor or even a boarding facility near you. Have two potential plans in case, if needed.
3️⃣ Does your pet have ID in the event it gets out? A microchip is best, but at this time, you may not be able to get one. If they are chipped, check with your microchip company to make sure your information is up to date. If you are not able to have your pet chipped at this time, you can put ID tags on their collar or even just write your name and number on their collar with a permanent marker.
4️⃣ Prepare a pet supply kit. It may not seem necessary today, but it will be helpful if you find yourself in an emergency situation without the ability to track down the proper supplies. If not needed now, you will have it ready for any emergency in the future.
If possible, your kit should include:
🔹 Name and contact information for the person who can care for your pets and for your back-up in case they are no longer able to help.
🔹 Contact information for your family in case your pet caregiver needs to contact them.
🔹 Food, treats, a leash, a couple of toys, and any other supplies necessary to care for your pet for at least two weeks.
🔹 A crate or carrier to transport your pet.
🔹 Vaccination records if possible.
🔹 Any medications and prescriptions, along with instructions, if applicable.
🔹 Daily care instructions.
🔹 Your vet's contact information.
During these challenging times, put your mind at ease knowing your pet will be in good hands and taken care of. ❤
