It’s important to have a plan for your pets should a disaster occur. Have your pets wear a collar and with updated identification tags and contact information. Having your pet’s microchipped with current contact information is also a good way of making sure your pets are reunited with you if you are separated. Purchase a pet carrier for each pet and have your pet’s name, your name and contact information on each carrier. In order for your pets to be cooperative in the event of an emergency, help familiarize them with their individual carrier and practice catching and transporting them. Keep a leash and their carrier near an exit for a quick and easy get away.
In case of a disaster, include items for your pets in your preparedness kit. Items recommended by the Weber-Morgan Health Department in the Family Emergency Preparedness guide are pet food and water, any medications with clearly labeled directions your pet may be on, your pet’s medical records, litter box, food and water dish, first aid kit, and information sheet with your pets name, feeding schedule, and any medical care or behavior problems.

I had no idea that, as you mentioned, pets are really good at hiding any pain they may be feeling. Also, like you said, preventing a problem is way easier then fixing one. I am not sure the last time my dog went in for a physical. I should probably get him in, and checked up to make sure everything is all good.

Just like people, these animals are also in need of care too. Providing them veterinary centers with an affordable medical fee is just enough. They wouldn't be paying form themselves that's why these hospitals have to provide a reasonable fee for their patients. I am happy that Douglassville Veterinary Hospital is finally open and ready to cater the needs of the these animals in terms of their health!

It made sense when you said that we should call an emergency management office to question about accommodations for us and our pets. According to my knowledge, disaster relief shelters are commonly used and can even offer amenities like power and climate control. This info should be helpful to anyone dealing with a natural disaster, so I appreciate you taking the time to discuss it here.
