Don't forget about Fido and Fifi! Dogs and cats get agitated and emotional during times of emergency. Make sure you have emergency supplies for your pets including food and water. Keep a bad situation from getting worse and be prepared. See our selection of Pet Emergency Kits here and be prepared with essential supplies stored in compact and organized packages!
Find answers to the most common questions about emergency pet food and supplies, from how much to store and how long it lasts to what else your pet needs when disaster strikes — because your pets are part of the family, and their emergency plan should be too.
Store at least 3 days of food and water per pet, and up to 14 days if you live in a disaster-prone area. Water and food needs vary by animal size, breed, and age — consult your veterinarian for specific guidance.
