Dr. Josh • 09-02-22 • Being prepared in a disaster
Hello, Woof readers! Fall is around the corner, and I bet many of us cannot wait to enjoy the flavors and scents of the season.
In the meantime, I want to discuss the topic for this month’s column: September is now our National Disaster Preparedness Month (previously celebrated in June), which raises awareness on how to be prepared as pet parents for emergencies like tornadoes, storms and flooding among others.
Let us start with the very basic needs of every pet: having a good supply of food and water. I recommend having at least enough food and water for several days in air tight containers.
This supply should not be the one that you use on a daily basis, since these containers must be readily available in case you need to leave in a hurry in the event of an emergency.
