Store It Foods

If you are thinking emergency survival, don’t forget the family dog.  That advice applies not only to the basics, but also to the little extras. 

Yes, you’ll need something to carry food and water, and, yes, you’ll want something into which you can place that food and water.   Some pet owners fabricate their own dog kits.  They may even go so far as to sew and stitch doggie backpacks.  Whether you do that, or prefer the convenience of purchasing something designed to assist in your animal’s emergency preparedness, don’t forget those extras.

How about a leash?  A ball or favorite toy might make for a useful insert.  Is medicine needed?  Would your dog be happier and easier to control if it had a piece of rawhide upon which it could chew. You may not need much, but those little things could make a big difference.
