Health Tip: Caring for Pets

If there’s an emergency and you need to evacuate your home, your pets must go too. So be prepared.

The American Red Cross recommends:

Find out which hotels would accept pets.
Prepare an emergency contact list of friends, family members and veterinarians who can help care for your pets in an emergency.
Practice evacuation drills with your pets, including getting their loaded carriers into your car.
Microchip your pets, and make sure their vaccines are up to date.
