The Ontario SPCA asks you to Promise to Prepare by including pets in emergency plans<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stouffville, ON (May 1, 2025) \u2013 With Emergency Preparedness Week just around the corner, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is asking you to Promise to Prepare by creating an emergency plan that includes your animal family members.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also receive a free digital 72-hour Emergency Preparedness Workbook to help you build your pet\u2019s survival kit. Whether you\u2019re evacuating due to a natural disaster such as a forest fire, or sheltering in place when a storm hits, having an emergency preparedness kit is essential for the safety and comfort of your furry family members.<\/p>\n

The Ontario SPCA is also giving away free emergency decals and wallet cards. Place a decal on your front door to alert first responders that pets are inside your home.
