Paquin Pet Evac

I know it's not something we think about on a daily basis, getting ourselves out of this building in the event of a life threatening emergency but let us not forget our furry little creatures. I did animal rescue and owned a whole zoo of them, not only did I have a plan for my family, but one for each species of animals on the farm, house, or apartment. Here, lets concentrate on cats and dogs (which I see most). If it's a fire, there will be smoke and chaos. The emergency personal are going to be more interested in you and your critters second, if at all.

For cats especially, you should have a cat carrier. One for each preferably, because trying to get the second one in may cause the first to run out! Gathering them up in the first place might be difficult as well. You should have them familiar with the carriers. Load them up once or twice a week, or set them up as sleepers so they feel at home in them. Trying to carry a cat or two in your arms most likely WILL NOT work.

As to dogs, know your dogs. If I had small dogs, I would have evac carriers for them as well. I could carry them and the emergency response team would be more willing if they are 'packaged goods', ready to go so to speak.

The carriers are not that expensive to save up for and the ROI (return on investment) will be priceless.

Something we often don't think about. So look your kids in the eyes tonight, tell them you love them and they are high on your list for PPE. (Paquin Pet Evac)!

ahhhh, now how can you deny those beady little eyeballs...lol
