Emergency advice for pet owners:
How you can keep your pets safe during an emergency
The chances of getting caught up in an emergency are small, but it’s still a good idea to think about what you would do if you, your family and pets were involved.
As a pet owner you will want to make sure you have taken steps to ensure your pet’s welfare in an emergency.
For example, do you know what you would do if:
- You were stuck away from home for a couple of nights?
- You were advised to leave your house because it wasn’t safe to stay there – where would you and your pets go?
- Your home was without power or water for a couple of days – could you still look after your pet?
If you can’t answer these questions easily you should take a look at our Get ready for the unexpected – Pets leaflet.
