Cool Thing of the Week!

My cool thing of the week is the “Dog Gone It Emergency Pet Kit” and the “Cat-astrophe Kit.” I think they’re cool, not just because of their fantastic names, but because it’s everything you need in one bucket to help keep your pets prepared. I have purchased these from PrepareSmart.com, click here for the exact link.

These buckets include food and water with a 5-year shelf life, a pet first-aid kit, collapsible food and water dishes, a leash, a harness, nylon rope, an emergency blanket, light sticks, bio-hazard bags, toys, a can opener and a pet-emergency plan template. With the exception of a crate or kennel, this is pretty much everything you need in one bucket! The costs range from $45-59, but it's well worth it for the peace of mind. These would work great both for sheltering in place and something to easily grab in the event of an evacuation. If you have a high-maintenance pet that has to eat special food, I'd throw some of that in there as well as a toy that they have played with. If it's a previously-loved toy it will have their scent on it and make them feel more at ease.
