Most people overlook the three most important things they should have done to prepare for the possibility of a disaster when they might have to evacuate with their dogs:
1.prepare an emergency notification card for your vehicle. On the card (which you can put in the glove compartment and carry in your bags or even stick on your vehicle interior, after it has been LAMINATED) you should have the following information:
call name(s) of your dog(s)
name of your vet and addressed and phone number
your personal wishes should your pet be beyond help
name and phone number of contact persons
your own name, address, and phone
dog's registered name if applicable
dog's registration number if applicable
dog's ID chip or tattoo if applicable
dog's status ( in reference to service dogs, etc.)
copy of vet records (immunizations and booster shots and rabies tags)
2. Put a buckle collar with identification on the dog.
3. Make sure you have a proper crate or containment for your pet in your vehicle
