Include pets in the household plan
Check food, transport, identification and receiving arrangements.
Prepare a separate pet list and verify receiving requirements with potential accommodation. Do not assume every shelter can accept the same animals. Arrange transport and care in advance.
Plan identification and transport
Check identification and contact details and keep suitable copies of health or vaccination records. Prepare appropriate transport equipment and become familiar with it. Verify local arrangements for service animals.
Make the list animal-specific
Prepare food, water, containers, cleaning items and care information for the animal’s species, size, diet and health needs. Ask a veterinarian about medicines rather than applying human treatments.
Confirm the receiving location
Record whether the destination accepts pets, its requirements, transport support and backup contacts. Review supplies and records when the plan changes instead of searching for arrangements for the first time during a crisis.
