The Delta Community Animal Shelter posted a list to Facebook today about what you should have in an emergency preparedness kit for your pet.
The shelter recommends your pet emergency preparedness kit include the following:
- Leash, pet restraint, muzzle or harness
- Pet carrier
- Pet food for fourteen days (or more)
- Water for fourteen days (or more)
- Collapsible food and water dishes
- Treats, a favourite toy and a small towel with your scent on it
- Waterproof backpack or bag for your pet supplies
- Copy of vaccination records
- Medications and basic pet first aid supplies
- Photos of your pet(s) with you and alone; they can be used for identification
“At this time, there is no evidence to support that domestic dogs, cats, and/or rabbits can transmit the COVID-19 virus,” the post notes.
The post adds that, “We are happy to speak with guardians if you have any questions or concerns and can be reached at 604-940-7111 or encourage you to speak with your veterinarian.”
