The Internet is full of advice and strategies for when SHTF – but one thing that is often left out is man’s best friend. Emergencies affect your entire family – pets included. The first step is to put together a kit of emergency supplies. Think of it like a bug out bag for your pet. Consider including the following: ............ survivalupdate.com/emergency-planning-for-your-pets/?listab_list=listab_list |

If you've got horses a full veterinary clinics worth of first aid supplies is usually required on hand at all times.... also for evacuation a set of float yards, spare halters, leads, bumrope, whip and feed/water buckets in the float at all times. For fires ID tags with owners name and ph number that can be plaited into the mane are extremely handy. They don't burn as much as a halter that is left on, as sometimes the best thing to do for them is just open all the gates or cut fences and allow them to find their own way away from the fire.

Something we have also considered for our very non tactical poodle is a means to sedate him if being counter-detected was a significant concern.

You can get calming agents that won't knock the dog out too 😉 and work on teaching the dog hand signals to get it to focus on you and obey you when in a stressful situation for it

We have two "non tactical chihuahuas" if a segull farts on the beach over road they have to let us know. Great for letting us know when someone is about but not very disciplined when being discreet is necessary |
