In an emergency, your pet will depend on you for their safety and well-being. So it’s crucial to prepare them like you would any two-legged family members.
Surveys reveal that approximately 50 percent of people have not stocked extra emergency supplies for their pets.

Start by creating a pet Ready kit that includes basic items such as food, water, medication, important documents like rabies vaccination forms, and other items.
Additional things for your pet emergency kit might include any of the following ideas:

My mini-Dachshund eats special canned food due to gastric sensitivity issues when he eats other foods. So I simply keep many cases of food for him. He gets about 2/3 can a day. So I figure I’ve got about 8 cases. That will last him more than 3 months. Hmmm… maybe I should get more 
If you have to evacuate with your pet
After packing the kit, create a plan — detailing where you might be going during an emergency evacuation.
Remember, if you have to evacuate, most emergency shelters cannot accept animals due to public health reasons. And many / most hotels / motels don’t accept pets.
