If something seriously that looks like either an extremely heavy snowstorm or a thunder and lightning, etc., that could lead to dangerous conditions, is there kind of a pet first aid kit or an emergency pet kit that people should put together?
12:48
Yes, there absolutely is.
12:50
In fact, also on our website, we have a list of those things that you can look up and see what you should have.
12:55
But yeah, we strongly recommend that everybody have a go kit, not just for themselves, but for their pets.
13:02
And among the things in the go kit, you would want food, water, vaccine records, really critical to have those vaccine records, a picture of your pet, a picture of you with your pet, Those kinds of things.
13:17
And so because you want to, if you have to get out fast, you want to just grab and go.
13:22
And one of the things I recommend, because it occurs to me, I have my dogs on a food that is a refrigerated food.
