Animals, like humans, need to be rescued during disasters. If you have a dog or cat at home, it is wise to also have a pet first aid kit aside from the kit reserved for your family. Be prepared to keep your pet safe and sound in case of any emergency. You can also have a smaller kit in your car.

A pet first aid kit can be put together by buying items separately or purchasing a ready-made one. Some of the components you must not forget to include are:

~ Nutritional support like food and water
~ Bandaging materials
~ Medicines
~ Equipment and supplies
~ Important phone numbers
