New home reference makes caring for pets easy, with guidelines on daily care, first aid, travel advice, emergency planning and how to respond to a pet injury, illness or emergency.
Informed Publishing, leading publisher of resources for emergency preparedness and response, has introduced the Pet Emergency Pocket Guide, a tool that provides quick access to information that makes caring for pets easy.
This compact 3”x5” guide delivers step-by-step guidelines to help pet owners care for pets daily, and be prepared so they can respond quickly and confidently in the event of a pet injury, illness or emergency.
Easy-to-follow tabbed, color-coded and illustrated sections both show and tell you how to best care for your pet on a daily basis, as well as what to do before, during and after an incident. It also includes first aid, emergency assessment with a glossary of signs and conditions, pet safety and preparation in the event of a natural disaster or evacuation, and a complete section on traveling safely with pets, including a “pet travel kit” checklist.
The Pet Emergency Pocket Guide is endorsed by A.M.E.R.S. Animal Ambulance. “Our medical staff as well as our clients have found this guide to be an essential tool for the care of their pets” says David Watts, CEO of A.M.E.R.S., “We tell our clients to keep a copy with them in case of emergencies and my staff keeps a copy on each ambulance.”
