Fetch Pet Care of NW Las Vegas Supports National Animal Disaster Preparedness

April 27, 2009 - PRLog -- National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day asks all pet owners to take a few moments to consider how they care for and prepare their pets for disasters. As part of this effort, Fetch Pet Care of NW Las Vegas is offering a free Pet Disaster Kit Shopping List to all its clients and website visitors.

The Pet Disaster Kit Shopping List is available on the Las Vegas Local Resources Page of www.FetchPetCare.com or directly at: http://www.fetchpetcare.com/resource/loc_id/95/a/resource/-/getlocation.php

According to the Citizen Corps website, "While our pets hold a special place in our hearts, unfortunately they often don't hold a place in our disaster preparedness plans."  As part of this preparedness effort, Fetch Pet Care has found terrific resources at FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security and by simply asking your local vet for advice. These links are available on the Fetch website. In most cases, a small duffle bag will do the trick and will not only help your pets in a natural disaster, but also any unexpected events in our busy daily lives. According to Chris Boring, Fetch Pet Care of NWLV's Managing Partner, "One of the most important items is to ensure your dogs and cats have current shots and registration tags. Better still is a microchip. These will help reunite your family if you are separated." Fetch recommends other simple items, like medications, leashes and portable water bowls help ease the stress for your furry friends, but also mom, dad and the kids.  A few minutes of disaster preparation will help children learn about proper care and give parents peace of mind.
