Veterinary Records - A copy of your dog's updated vet records are an important addition to any emergency box (that can be grabbed in a hurry in a disaster). You may need to prove that your dog has had certain immunizations or procedures done before being admitted to any type of emergency or temporary shelter. Also, having a dog gift basket packaged and ready to eat at a moments notice offers your dog a variety of quality dog treats and provide a sense of satisfaction for the pet parent also.
Spare Leash and Collar - Keep an extra six-foot leash and buckle collar handy in either your vehicle, or your emergency box, or both at all times. These can be used as emergency restraints or as an extra length of lead if you need to secure your dog to a stationary object. You should always have a proper restraining system in your vehicle for traveling. In addition to having a spare lease and collar, having a packaged, ready-to-eat dog gift basket can be a special item to keep handy. A dog gift basket can include a variety of special dog treats such as dog bones, organic dog biscuits, vegan dog treats, natural dog treats or even homemade dog biscuits.
Identification on the Dog - Whether it is an implanted microchip, collar tags that are secured to the collar, or information embroidered right on his collar, you should always have some form of identification on your dog at all times. However micro chipping your dog is by far the easiest option.
Extra Dog Food - Cans or dry kibbled dog food, it's always a god idea to have plenty of dog food on hand, at least a couple of weeks worth, in a container or bag that could be grabbed in a hurry. Having to change your dog's food in a pinch can wreak havoc on your dog's digestive system, and your air quality. Keeping in mind your dog’s digestive system and how stressful emergencies can be why not keep a delicious dog gift basket ready and available to eat at a moment’s notice. A dog gift basket can contain a variety of special dog treats for your dog such as dog bones, organic dog biscuits, vegan dog treats, natural dog treats, and especially homemade dog biscuits.
Several Plastic Bags - Plastic bags can be used for anything in a pinch: waterproof stockings, poop pick-up, hand coverings, and you can even carry things in them such as dog treats ranging from a wide variety of items including dog bones, organic dog biscuits, vegan dog treats, natural dog treats, and homemade dog biscuits.
Portable Water - Don't rely on having tap water available, keep water coolers and jugs filled and ready in case of an emergency evacuation. In the event of a storm that you need to stay in for, fill up your bathtub, and available containers. A gallon of water a day, for every member (furry or non-furry) of your household is the recommended amount and it is best to have at least three or four days supply on hand. This is especially true of having a dog gift basket available for your dog can only eliminate worry for the pet parent. Dog gift baskets contain a variety of special dog treats such as dog bones, organic dog biscuits, vegan dog treats, natural dog treats, and homemade dog biscuits.
A Crate or Carrier - Folding crates and small collapsible carriers should be kept handy. Any shelter that allows pets will require your dog to be in a crate, as well as the above items. Sometimes a crate or carrier can be confining for your pet. Why not make them feel as comfortable as possible by providing them with such special dog treats as dog bones, organic dog biscuits, vegan dog treats, natural dog treats, and homemade dog biscuits.
