In case of an emergency, don't forget about your furry companions! It’s a good idea to have a pet emergency kit ready, including:

• Food & Water: At least a 5-day supply, stored in waterproof containers.
• Medications & Medical Records: Copies of prescriptions and vaccination records.
• First Aid Kit: Bandages, tweezers, antiseptic wipes, and a digital thermometer.
• Identification: Current photos of your pet and a collar with ID tags.
• Comfort Items: Familiar toys or blankets to help reduce stress.
