It is important to prepare an emergency plan for your assistance animals. If you need to evacuate, plan to take your assistance animal with you.
If an emergency happens, and you need to evacuate, you should not be denied access to transport or any evacuation centres because you have an assistance animal with you.
Your assistance animal will need to wear their halter or lead but will not need to be muzzled in an evacuation centre.
Pack in a waterproof container or tub and label it for your assistance animal.
Food - At least five days of non-perishable pet food (canned or dried, the same as what you normally feed them) in an airtight or waterproof container – remember the can opener!
Water - At least five days of water, additional to your family needs. Animals can drink more water than usual when stressed.
Medicines - Any extra medical supplies and special dietary needs or supplements.
Vet / medical records - Copies of any medical and vaccination records. Include your vet’s name and phone number.
Animal first aid kit - Cotton bandage rolls and tape, scissors, tweezers and latex gloves. Talk to your vet about any specific first aid requirements, like antibiotic ointment and saline solution (separate to your family’s).
Blanket/bedding - Familiar items, like favourite blanket or toy can help reduce stress for your assistance animal/guide Dog
