New Emergency Preparedness With Pets Video Provides Essential Readiness Tips For Emergency Preparedness Month
Pasadena, Calif. (PRWEB) September 16, 2015 -- Sleepypod® reminds pet owners during National Preparedness Month that no matter where you live, a natural or manmade disaster could strike at any time with little to no warning.

• Update pet identification tag and microchip
• Create an emergency pet buddy system
• Put together evacuation kits for you and your pet
• Make a list of emergency contacts
• Make a disaster plan with your family
• Order free pet rescue alert stickers
