FOOD:
- Use the brand your pet is used to.
- Have dry and canned if that is what the pet eats. (If you use canned food, buy the smallest size can available, as your pet's appetite may decrease during a disaster and you may not have a proper way to store half-used cans of food.)
- Plastic lid to put on a half-used can of food. (Opened cans of food need to be stored in a refrigerator or ice chest.)
- Have enough to last at least one week. (More can be stored if you have room, but be sure it is rotated at least once every three months to prevent it from going bad.)
((Notice, for people, it was only every SIX months.....pet people are, hmmm, more discerning?))
- Food dish.
- Can opener. (Even if what you are storing has flip-top lids, you may not be able to obtain that type if you run out in the weeks following a disaster.)
- Spoon to scoop the food out of the can.
WATER:
- Have enough to last at least one week. (More can be stored if you have room, but be sure it is rotated at least every 3 months.)
- Store water in a dark or shaded area, and not in direct sunlight, or bacteria will start to form that can cause diarrhea.
- Non-spillable water dish.
- Small container of bleach for purifying water.
- Sealed plastic container for storing purified water.
LITTER/SANITATION:
