Dog survival

What are the best pet survival kits?

In a similar way to prepare emergency kits for the humans in the family, it is also just as beneficial to put in place a survival kit for the pets. The family pet is just as much in need of food, water, and warmth should you become involved in a natural or man-made disaster.

Essentials items to pack the survival kit

Creating a cat or dog survival kit is a vital step to make certain a pet is kept happy and content throughout an emergency. It is generally found that the family pet gets a lot more stressed and sensitive to its surroundings, so you want to make sure you take the necessary steps to help the pet remain as calm as possible throughout the situation. In self-preparing a survival kit for the pets you might want to include such essentials as pet carriers, collars which light up, and dog tags equipped with motion activation.  

Make sure to pack sufficient food supplies

In addition to those supplies, you will of course want to include a sufficient line of food and water supplies for the cats, dogs, or exotic pets. A helpful guideline is to check on the use by date for this food to make certain it is always good and available should the unfortunate disaster strike. In general, it often suggested that a cat survival or dog survival kit is packed with food which has a potential to last at least 72-hours, which would be much the same as the kits for the humans.

Beyond what has already been mentioned, it might also be worthwhile investing in extra products such as those that relate to playthings to keep the pet entertained, a range of chew sticks, and a good number of warm and thick blankets. A further essential item to look at includes the choice of poop bags, which  is an essential purchase to ensure a place is kept clean at all times.
