Disaster Preparedness for your Pet

Posted August 28 by Fido

Earthquakes, Hurricanes and Other Disasters:

A natural disaster can strike at any time, no matter where you live. Whether an earthquake, storm or wild fire threatens your home, prepare for your pet’s well-being with a few weeks’ worth of food stored in an easy-to-grab container plus an ample supply of water. It’s one less thing to worry about while getting your family to a safe place. You can easily put together a well-stocked pet first aid kit using a waterproof container that opens and closes easily. Print out this checklist and keep within reach:

Disaster Kit

Pet first-aid kit and guide book (see below)
3-7 days' worth of canned (pop-top) or dry food (be sure to rotate every two months)
Disposable litter trays (aluminum roasting pans are perfect)
Litter or paper toweling
Liquid dish soap and disinfectant
Disposable garbage bags for clean-up
Pet feeding dishes
Extra collar or harness as well as an extra leash
Photocopies of medical records
Waterproof container with a two-week supply of any medicine your pet requires (Remember, food and medications need to be rotated out of your emergency kit—otherwise they may go bad or become useless.)
Bottled water, at least 7 days' worth for each person and pet (store in a cool, dry place and replace every two months)
A traveling bag, crate or sturdy carrier, ideally one for each pet
Flashlight
Blanket (for scooping up a fearful pet)
Recent photos of your pets (in case you are separated and need to make "Lost" posters)
Especially for cats: Pillowcase or EvackSack, toys, scoopable litter
Especially for dogs: Extra leash, toys and chew toys, a week's worth of cage liner.
Rabies Certificates: Animals in pain may bite you. It is critical that you can provide evidence of your pet’s rabies vaccination at all times. Depending on state regulations, a pet without proof of current rabies vaccination may be quarantined.

First Aid Kit

Veterinarian's contact information: have numbers for both your family veterinarian and an after-hours emergency veterinarian readily available
Scissors: for cutting hair and bandages
Tweezers: for removing objects from skin or paws
Eyedropper: to dispense liquid medication or clean superficial wounds
Gloves: to help protect you and keep the wound sanitary
Gauze pads: for cleaning injuries
Gauze rolls: to wrap around wounds or use as a safety muzzle
Soft muzzle: to prevent your pet from biting you or chewing on an injury while in pain
E-collar: available in a variety of sizes, this opaque or clear plastic, cone-shaped protector attaches to your pet's collar and can be found at veterinary clinics and pet stores. Prevents your pet from accessing a wound or injury
Alcohol prep pads: to sterilize items such as scissors or tweezers
Cold pack: to reduce swelling or pain
Digital thermometer: to find out if your pet is running a fever (a mercury thermometer can shatter)
Hydrogen peroxide: to clean a wound
Rags or rubber tubing: to use as a tourniquet
Blanket or towel: to wrap around injured pet, carry an injured pet and provide warmth

Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla Adopt ..... a PUPPY!

Posted August 25 by Fido

Duchess Camilla and Queen Elizabeth have something in common besides their love of Prince Charles. They both love DOGS! Camilla loves

Jack Russell Terriers while the Queen prefers her Cogis.

It was reported earlier this week by People that Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla have expanded their family with a Jack Russell Terrier rescue puppy. The Jack Russell, named Beth, was dropped at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in London when she was just 12 weeks old, according to Clarence House. She is one of over a hundred stray dogs that came to the U.K. shelter in July. Last fall, Camilla mentioned to staff that she'd love another Jack Russell since her beloved Freddy had died. (Freddy was such a part of the family that Camilla's son Tom named his own child after the dog!) When a Jack Russell was left at the shelter, the staff emailed photos to the Duchess.

"I just couldn't resist her, she is gorgeous," Camilla told Britain's Daily Mail of seeing the pup's pictures. "It is so exciting. I can't wait for her to meet the family.""Beth is a charming, confident little puppy and we know she will be very happy in her new home," Battersea's chief executive Claire Horton said in a statement on the rescue's website. Beth joins the Duchess' two other Jack Russells, Tosca and Rosie. Beth, Tosca and Rosie will reportedly spend the rest of the summer with the royal couple at Birkhall, their home on the Queen's Balmoral estate in the Highlands.
