Undated - June is ‘National Pet Preparedness Month’ and the Michigan State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division is encouraging Michiganders to create an emergency preparedness kit for their pets in case of an emergency.
Residents are encouraged to identify pet-friendly shelters, hotels, or boarding facilities in advance as many emergency shelters are unable to accommodate animals. Pet owners should also ensure pets wear identification tags, are microchipped when possible, and have updated vaccinations and medical records readily available.
