The Pet Emergency Pocket Guide was designed to be the most comprehensive, current, and convenient resource available. Easy-to-follow tabbed, color-coded, and illustrated sections both show and tell you how to best care for your pet daily, as well as what to do before, during, and after an incident. It also includes how-to first aid, emergency assessment with a glossary of signs and conditions, pet safety and preparation in the event of a natural disaster, the latest information on evacuation and sheltering, and a complete section on traveling safely with pets, including a pet travel kit checklist.
This one-stop resource consolidates all the information pet parents need into one concise package, that is as easy to understand as it is to apply. Small enough to keep anywhere close at hand and with you when you travel, the Pet Emergency Pocket Guide ensures you will have the hands-on skills and information needed to act quickly and confidently, keeping yourself and your pets happy and safe.
