More than half of American households have pets. The Humane Society reports that there are approximately 74.8 million dogs owned in the United States alone. Those facts add up to a lot of at risk families and pets. What types of natural disasters or emergencies are experienced by dog owners?
They are at risk for disasters such as floods, hurricanes and winter storms. They are also at risk for home fires, medical emergencies and missing pets. Managing risk is all about planning ahead and being prepared. You can help the dog lover in your life with that plan and those preparations by giving them the Mutt Mitigation gift box.
We don’t leave young children home alone but we do leave our pets. What happens to pets in a house fire?
A plan to save pets and families includes having the right information ahead of time as well as during a disaster. Dog lovers need to know how to save themselves and their pets.
After learning about risk and making plan, a pet owner needs to have the right supplies on hand to respond to any emergency that they and their pet may encounter. We have carefully chosen the emergency supplies we include in the Mutt Mitigation gift boxes to meet these needs.
