As mentioned last week, having a pre-made emergency kit for your pet is crucial to keeping them safe should something happen. This kit should be kept up to date, refreshed, and easily accessible to grab or give to someone.
Necessary items for your pet`s emergency kit should include:
✔ Food & Water
✔ Medications and Prescriptions
✔ A Crate or Carrying Bag
✔ Copies of Vaccinations or Medical Records
✔ An Animal First Aid Kit
✔ Backup leashes and Collars with ID Tags
✔ Recent Photo(s) of Your Pet
✔ Grooming Supplies (brushes, nail trimmers, wipes, etc.)
✔ Familiar Toys, Treats, Bedding, and Other Items
✔ Food and Water Bowls
✔ Poop Bags, Cat Litter, Shavings, Puppy Pads, etc.
✔ Your Contact & Veterinary Information
Follow along next week as we continue to provide crucial tips and helpful resources during Disaster Preparedness Month!
"Hello everyone! My name is Pippin the dog and it’s such a pleasure to meet you. Being adopted and finding my home would be so much fun! In all honesty, though, it’s life’s little moments that really bring me joy. The smell of a good tree, the flick of a squirrel’s tail, a ball rolling across fresh grass. These are the moments I live for and I really wish to share them with someone special like you. Please check out my new blog to to see if, maybe, we`re the perfect match!"

Dogs are known for their loyalty, and cats for their companionship, but not many know of how fun, loving, and unique a guinea pig can be, like our friend 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗸 here. So, to celebrate our many cute cavies and to help these furry friends get adopted, we’re here to shed some light on why guinea pigs make the perfect pets!
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆`𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲.
Guinea pigs come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, and each pig has their own personality and preferences. Some pigs have long, silky hair while others have short, coarse hair. Some pigs are all black while others can be calico or brindle. There are even guinea pigs who are born naturally bald! And like all animals, pigs have different personalities. Some are more shy and introverted, while others are more outgoing and energetic. No matter what, though, you can bet your cavie will be a loyal and loving companion!

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆`𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿.
While every pet requires time, attention, and care, guinea pigs are known for being relatively easy to own. They like larger enclosures with space to roam free, but are usually healthy and hardy animals. They also require bedding, hay, grain, and vegetables, as well as toys, tunnels, and huts. Once they’re all set up and ready to go, however, guinea pigs mostly just require your love and attention!
