Emergency Pet Plan
Looking after pets in an emergency
Our pets are cherished members of our families. They rely on us for shelter, food, and medical care when they’re sick or injured. As pet owners, it’s important to plan ahead for how we’ll care for them during an emergency.
In a crisis, you may need to leave home quickly or might be unable to return to collect your pets. Preparing in advance can make all the difference.
Here are a few simple steps you can take to help keep your pets safe during an emergency
Planning now will save time in an emergency
- Create a pet emergency pack - toys, blanket, lead, collar, harness, carrier pet information card
- Make a pet information card for each of your pets including all key information about them including the food they eat, medication, allergies etc.
- Plan your escape - if you needed to leave your home in an emergency where would your pet go? Speak to friends and family, boarding kennels, your local vets, local hotels and boarding houses to make a plan where you and your pet could stay.
