What Emergencies Should I Plan For?

It is important to consider a variety of natural disasters and everyday emergencies when planning for your pets. Emergencies are more common than you might think and can happen anytime, anywhere (and without warning). Be sure your family is prepared for a variety of emergencies:

  • Fires
  • Hurricanes
  • Earthquakes
  • Tornadoes
  • Floods
  • Violent Storm
  • And more!

It is important to consider how you will not only protect your family, but also your pets in these situations. Leaving them out of your plan can put your pets, your family, and first responders in danger.
