How can I make sure my pet will be OK if there is an emergency?
Familiarise your pet with the evacuation route to make sure he’s comfortable with stairwells and confined spaces.
First, be prepared with the following things on hand:
- The phone numbers and addresses of your veterinarian and an after-hours emergency clinic, including directions on how to get there
- First-aid supplies, including bandages and dressings
- The phone number of National Poisons Hotline
- A list of any medications your pet is taking
Next, familiarise your pet with the evacuation route to make sure he’s comfortable with stairwells and confined spaces.
Last, notify the fire warden on your floor when your pet is present so they’ll know to evacuate him in an emergency if you’re away from your desk.
