Pets and Disaster Safety Checklist
Our pets enrich our lives in more ways than we can count. In turn, they depend on us for their safety and wellbeing. The best way to ensure the safety of your family is to be prepared with a disaster plan. If you are a pet owner, that plan includes your pets. Being prepared can help save lives.
Learn First Aid for Your Pets
Dogs and cats are more than pets—they’re family. And just like any other family member, pets deserve to be cared for and protected. That’s why the American Red Cross has developed Dog First Aid and Cat First Aid, comprehensive guides to help keep pets healthy and safe. From basic responsibilities, like spaying/neutering and giving medications, to managing cardiac emergencies and preparing for disasters, these guides offer information pet owners can trust.
Contact your local chapter to purchase guide books and first aid kits or log on to the Red Cross Store to see all available products.
