You can never be TOO prepared for an emergency of any kind. Whether it's an earthquake, rainstorm, fire... unfortunately, we see them all here in the Bay Area.
We usually have an emergency kit put together for our human family but sometimes our furry family members get overlooked. Lately, there have been many national disasters occurring, all around the world. Having an emergency kit can save time and possible lives.
Stock up on items your pet may need during a disaster.
