Nobody wants to plan for a possible emergency — be it for natural disasters or medical situations — but there’s always a chance that you’ll find yourself in such a position. When emergency strikes, humans can make contingency plans relatively quickly, like packing a change of clothes that you can throw in your car, or preparing a 72-hour food kit.

However, pets aren’t so lucky. They can’t pack an extra bag of kibble or a bottle of water on the fly, which means that you have to get it done for them. Fortunately, putting together a checklist of emergency preparedness items isn’t too difficult. Here are some must-have supplies you should have for your pet in the event of such a critical situation.

Like anyone else in your household, animals have to eat. And like water, your pet should have at least a week’s worth of food ready to go. Canned food is good for storing and rationing, though make sure you have a can opener available.
