Put together a first aid kit.
As living, breathing beings, pets are subject to physical trauma just
as we are. If you would have a first aid for the people in your
house, then it follows that you should do the same for your pet. The
humane society suggests having the following items (at the very
least) in your pet's first aid kit:
- Absorbent gauze pads
- Adhesive tape
- Antiseptic wipes, lotion, powder or spray
- Blanket (foil emergency blanket)
- Cotton balls or swabs
- Gauze rolls
- Hydrogen peroxide (to induce vomiting when directed by a veterinarian or poison control)
- Ice pack
- Non-latex disposable gloves
- Petroleum jelly (to lubricate thermometer)
- Rectal thermometer (your pet's temperature should not rise above 103°F or fall below 100°F)
- Scissors (with blunt ends)
- Sterile non-stick gauze pads for bandages
- Sterile saline solution (sold at pharmacies)
- Tweezers
- A pillowcase to confine your cat for treatment
- A pet carrier
Make sure your home is pet safe.
Check your home, room by room, for hazards that may make it
easy for a pet to inadvertently start a fire. Loose wires are an
especially prevalent offender in this case. In terms of rooms where
this is most likely to happen, the kitchen usually holds more fire
hazards than any other room in the house. Be sure to remove knobs, or
to lock your stove and oven so that curious critters cannot
accidentally turn them on.
Contain your pets wisely.
Pets, especially smaller animals, can become easily trapped in
smoke-filled spaces when disaster strikes, leaving them with no way
to escape. To minimize the chances of this happening, keep them
secured in an area of your house where the fire risks are at a
minimum (for example, a room without hot lamps, or flammable
materials). Include your pets in your evacuation
plan. Know exactly where you would locate your pet in the event of a
fire, and be sure to have collars and leashes handy at the exit you
plan to use.
Communicate with your community.
When people know that you have pets, they know to look out
for and rescue them in the event of an emergency. Stickers on the
window are one very effective way to do this, since emergency
response crews will see them as they enter your home.
