Ready Pets, Ready Families

June is Pet Preparedness Month, making it a great time to check that you have everything your pet may need during an emergency. Just like you have an emergency kit for yourself, your pets need one, too!

National Pet Preparedness Month. Links to the Ready PA Include Everyone In Your Plan page.
Here's what to include:

Food and Water: Pack at least a week's worth of food and water. Don’t forget bowls and a manual can opener.
Medications and Medical Records: Make sure you have a week's supply of any medications your pet needs, along with their medical records.
First Aid Kit: Include basics like bandages, antiseptic wipes, and tweezers.
Comfort Items: A few toys, blankets, and treats can help keep your pet calm.
Sanitation Supplies: Bring litter and a litter box for cats and waste bags for dogs.
Make sure your pet wears an updated ID tag and consider microchipping if you have not already done so. It is also helpful to identify pet friendly shelters, hotels, or friends and family members who could help if you need to leave home quickly.

Planning ahead can make emergencies less stressful for both you and your pets. Take a few minutes this month to prepare. Your pets are counting on you.

Summer is also a good time to refresh your emergency plans.

Test smoke alarms each month and replace batteries when needed.
Review your family emergency plan and choose a meeting place outside your home.
Keep fire extinguishers easy to reach and make sure everyone knows how to use them.
A few simple steps can help make summer safer for you, your family, and your neighbors. Enjoy the season, make great memories, and stay prepared along the way.
