Prevent Hypothermia in Pets | Emergency Kit Essentials

In this installment of our Pet Emergency Kit series, Dr. Sean McPeck discusses the crucial role of warmth in your pet’s emergency preparedness. Hypothermia can be a serious risk, especially during disasters, so it’s essential to have ways to keep your pet warm. Dr. McPeck introduces the HPMK Hypothermia Prevention Management Kit by North American Rescue, a full-body insulated mummy bag that warms up on exposure to air. Waterproof and effective, this kit is an excellent solution for keeping pets safe and warm in challenging conditions.

A simple space blanket or tarp can also be a lifesaver, providing both warmth and versatility. These items can serve double duty in emergencies, allowing you to create a makeshift carrier by cutting leg openings for transporting your pet.
