📅 June 2 – National Pet Preparedness Month
From wild weather to unexpected power outages, disasters can strike when you least expect them. National Pet Preparedness Month is your reminder to take proactive steps to protect your pup—and with the help of smart tools like iPupPee, you can give your dog a voice in the moments that matter most.
🐾 Why Preparedness Matters More Than Ever
Emergency plans often forget one critical family member: your dog. But your pup relies entirely on you during high-stress situations. A well-thought-out plan—and the right tools—can make all the difference between panic and protection.
📦 Your Dog’s Emergency Go-Bag Checklist
Be ready to grab-and-go with:
-
✅ A leash, collar, and ID tags
-
✅ 7-day supply of food and bottled water
-
✅ Medications and a copy of vet records
-
✅ First-aid kit (with tick/flea meds)
-
✅ Favorite toy or comfort item
-
✅ Recent printed photo of your dog
-
✅ Poop bags, wipes, towels
-
✅ Portable bowls & crate
Keep all items stored in a waterproof backpack or bin, and check it quarterly to refresh supplies.
🏠 Make a Disaster Plan That Includes iPupPee
-
📍 Know which shelters or hotels accept pets
-
👨👩👧👦 Designate an emergency contact who can retrieve your dog if you’re not home
-
🪪 Use a window decal to alert responders of pets inside
-
📲 Set up your iPupPee device—if you’re home during a storm or fire, your dog can press the button to notify multiple emergency contacts in real time
iPupPee’s built-in camera and two-way speaker also allow you to check in on your dog, talk to them, and get alerted even if you’re temporarily separated in a disaster.
🧠 Practice Makes Prepared
Run practice drills with your dog. Simulate evacuation routines, load them into the car, and test iPupPee's alert system so it becomes second nature - before an emergency hits.
