Animal Disaster Preparedness Guide
Table of contents for Disaster Preparedness Tips
Okay, I am releasing a preliminary version of my revised Animal Disaster Preparedness for Pet Owners & Pet Professionals in PDF format today.
I’m still working on adding photos and other interesting information but the 53 page guide has valuable information needed by pet owners and animal professionals.
Why am I releasing it now?
