Pet Evacuation Tips

March 26, 2019

Pets are members of the family, and we want them to be safe during an evacuation for wildfire or other emergency.  Here are some pet evacuation tips:

  • Remember, if it’s not safe for you to be in your home, it’s not safe for your pet either.
  • As the wildfire approaches, bring your pet inside so you won’t have to search for him or her if you need to leave quickly.
  • Know which hotels and motels along the evacuation route will accept pets.
  • Make sure that your pet’s vaccinations are current.  Many shelters require current proof of vaccinations.
  • Make sure all dogs and cats are wearing collars with securely fastened, up-to-date identification.
  • Consider having your pet microchipped.
  • Have a sturdy leash, harness, and/or carrier for safely transporting your pet to ensure it can’t escape.
  • Have pet food, drinking water, bowls, cat litter, litter pan, and a manual can opener to open pet food, if needed.
  • Have medications and copies of medical records stored in a water proof container.
  • Have current photos of your pet in case he or she gets lost.
  • Have information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian in case you have to board your pet.
  • Bring pet bed and toys if they can be easily transported.
