Today's floods around the mid-Hudson Valley area — and throughout the east coast — emphasize the need to prepare for the unexpected. For ourselves and, especially, for our pets. Would you know what to do for your pet in an emergency?
With April being National Pet First Aid Awareness Month, the American Red Cross wants everyone to learn steps that can keep your pet safe.
The organizers even sells a book — "Pet First Aid" — that provides information on how to care for dogs and cats in the event of an emergency, as well as preventing and preparing for the unexpected.
"Pet First Aid" has detailed instructions on how to administer care for 50 injuries and illnesses. It gives step-by-step directions on how to administer CPR and tells how to give medications. From the book, you can learn how to build a pet first aid kit and to make your pet part of a family disaster plan, including identifying hotels and shelters that accept pets.
Purchases made through the online store benefit the Red Cross chapter in your area.
