Disaster Preparedness Day: Getting Ready for the Unexpected with Your Pet

September 1 is Disaster Preparedness Day in Japan.
Earthquakes, typhoons, torrential rain—there is no telling when a disaster might strike.

Even if you have your own emergency supplies ready,
you may still be thinking, "I'm not sure I've prepared enough for my pet..."
Many owners feel exactly the same way.

How far along are your pet's disaster preparations?

□ Food and drinking water
□ Regular medication and therapeutic diets
□ Lead, collar and ID tag
□ Carry bag and evacuation bag
□ Dog shoes to protect paw pads
□ Toilet and hygiene supplies
□ Grooming supplies
□ A space to rest at the evacuation site
□ Apparel for protection from rain and cold

In a disaster, the streets you casually walk every day can become hazardous, littered with broken glass and debris.
At an evacuation site, it may also be difficult to groom your pet as usual or to provide an environment where they can rest calmly.

That is exactly why it's important to think about the "what ifs" with your pet and start preparing, little by little, today.

"What should I prepare?" PETs ADVANCE has some suggestions

PETs ADVANCE offers items for a range of situations, from moving during an evacuation and protecting your dog's paws to creating a comfortable space at the evacuation site.

For getting around during an evacuation

An expandable pet backpack lets you evacuate safely together with your dog or cat. If you choose one you can also use for everyday outings and vet visits, you and your pet can get used to it in daily life—and there's no need to buy an extra one just for emergencies.

For protecting paws during an evacuation

After a disaster, roads may be scattered with broken glass and debris. To protect your dog's paw pads, we recommend keeping dog shoes as part of your emergency supplies. Since they can also be used for everyday walks and outdoor activities, you don't have to buy them "just for emergencies."
Some dogs get used to shoes right away, but rather than putting them on for the first time during a disaster, it's important for owners to practice putting them on and for dogs to practice wearing them in advance.

For staying clean at the evacuation site

Items such as dry shampoo and deodorizing spray are useful during evacuation life, when water and facilities are limited. They're handy not only in a disaster but also for everyday outings.

For a place to settle in at the evacuation site

Items such as air beds and pens help secure a space where your dog can rest in an unfamiliar environment. Getting used to them in everyday life also brings peace of mind when the unexpected happens.
