July 15<\/span>th<\/sup>\u00a0is Pet Fire Safety Day, and we at Kriser\u2019s thought this was a perfect time to remind our friends and family how to keep our pets safe in a pinch. Whether it\u2019s a forest fires, hurricanes, flooding, tornados or any other natural disaster, we want to help you get an emergency kit ready for your furry family, just like you (hopefully) have for the humans in your Pack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are our top 10 items you\u2019ll want to consider having in a safe place.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nFREEZE-DRIED or AIR DRIED FOOD:<\/strong>\u00a0light, portable and can be fed even without water in a pinch to help keep your pet\u2019s diet healthy even in stressful times. Some options:\u00a0Primal<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0Stella & Chewy\u2019s<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Ziwi Peak.<\/strong><\/em>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \nBOTTLED WATER:<\/strong>\u00a0your pets will need to drink too! Make sure you through extra bottles in.<\/li>\n
  3. \nCANNED FOOD:<\/strong>\u00a0specifically ones with pull top lids (like\u00a0Evanger\u2019s<\/strong><\/em>) for easy moist feeding.<\/li>\n
  4. \nFLEA & TICK TREATMENT:<\/strong>\u00a0Try a spray like\u00a0Richard\u2019s Organics<\/strong><\/em>, which can help keep the buggies away in damp or dry conditions<\/li>\n
  5. \nAN EXTRA LEASH, COLLAR\/HARNESS AND NAME TAG:<\/strong>\u00a0if you have to bolt in a flash, make sure your pet can stay safe, and be returned to you if you get separated. Have an extra\u00a0Red Dingo<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0one tag just in case!<\/li>\n
  6. \nPORTABLE BOWLS:<\/strong>\u00a0look for the collapsible ones to take up less space. Your Kriser\u2019s Pack Member can show you where they are.<\/li>\n
  7. \nWASTE BAGS:<\/strong>\u00a0an extra roll is always good to have on hand.\u00a0Doggie Walk Bags<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0duffel-style holders come with a carabiner so you\u2019re sure not to lose it in your haste.<\/li>\n
  8. \nCALMING AIDS:<\/strong>\u00a0LICKS Pill Free Zen<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is an easy-to-dose option \u2013 in both dog and cat formulas \u2013 to help calm those frayed furry nerves in an emergency<\/li>\n
  9. \nCHEWS or TOYS:<\/strong>\u00a0have something on hand to keep your dog busy and distracted from fear. Himalayan Chews, Bionic Toys or something equally as tough are good options to distract!<\/li>\n
  10. \nA CRATE or CARRIER:<\/strong>\u00a0if it fits in your car or safe place, this is a great thing to have. A lot of shelters require pets to be crated to enter. Check out the\u00a0Sherpa<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0carrier. You could even store all of these other things inside of it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Don\u2019t forget to check your kit every few months and change out the perishable items to ensure your stockpile stays fresh. And here\u2019s hoping you never need to use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
