June is National Pet Preparedness Month

What if a tornado like the one in Joplin struck your town or what if you had to deal with a flood like the one in Memphis? These are frightening questions, but their answers will come easier if you've taken the time to prepare yourself and all your loved ones, both human and animal. June is National Pet Preparedness Month so it’s important to think about your pet’s disaster preparedness plan as well as your own. We recommend setting aside the food and medication that your pet could need for several weeks, as well as a first aid kit for your pet, just in case. This is also a good time to make sure that your microchip is registered to the proper contact information, including a cell phone in case your family is forced to evacuate your home. We want to help you to all that’s necessary to ensure that you and your pet will be reunited if you’re separated.
