The aftermath of events like September 11th, Hurricane Irene and the most recent wildfires in Colorado, forever changed the way people think about being prepared for a disaster. It also changed the way people pack their emergency kits to be ready to go at all times. However, most people forget about the importance of also having an emergency kit ready for their beloved pets. Though most pet owners, hopefully, will be spared losing a furry family member through a natural disaster, it's smart to plan ahead and be prepared to protect your pet.

This dilemma got New York entrepreneur, Jane Bell, thinking about how people can take better care of their pets' needs during an emergency--as well in ordinary times. "City people tend not to think about being prepared. During a New York blackout, one of my neighbors gave me an emergency kit. It had a bottle of water, a mask, a radio, and a Metrocard. It was very compact. The idea for Pet Portables came from there".

The Pet Portables travel/safety kit comes with an I.D. card which contains pertinent information about the pet. Plus a place for a photo, microchip number and vet information. Should the owner get injured, there's room for people particulars as well. The kit also contains a collapsible bowl, a veterinarian-strength slip leash and a roll of pick-up bags. As important as Pet Portables is for emergencies, it's just as important and useful for all types of travel."It's great for hiking, camping, running, beaching - anywhere you take your pet"Most importantly, Pet Portables comes with a compact first aid kit. There's enough room in the bag for toys, food, water, medications, treats and even a favorite blanket. The first aid kit fits easily into your car's glove compartment or tucks comfortably into your backpack".

Be prepared. Feel secure. Pet Portables travel kit will keep your pet safe and happy.
