📛 Having a pet emergency plan can reduce stress

📛 Having a pet emergency plan can reduce stress and ensure your pet’s safety in case of evacuation. Think about how you'll transport your pet, where you’ll go, and what to bring. Consider your pet’s needs, stressors, and medical requirements, and create an emergency contact list. Ensuring your pet can be easily identified is key in a crisis.
