Would you know what to do with your pets if there was a fire at your home? Would you know where to take Milo or Buttons? Pet fire safety is vital. Keeping them safe is of the utmost importance, a priority. Here are ways to protect your pets in the event of a fire:  

Include them in your family plan

Just as you prepare and have a family plan for your children and yourselves, you want to implement one for your pets, too. We encourage you to have their own disaster supplies kit ready in advance. Plan today so you’re ready for tomorrow. 

Practice your escape plan

With anything, practice makes perfect. The more you practice your escape route with your children and pets, the better equipped they will be if/when a fire strikes. Practice until they are trained enough to come at your beck and call, then practice some more.  

Evacuate 

The single most important thing you can do if a disaster strikes is to evacuate. Evacuating the premises helps protect you, your family and pets. It’s better to be safe than sorry.   

And with the aforementioned tips, communication is going to play an integral role in all of this. Ensure every member is on the same page. Get further tips from this great resource here.
