Disaster Preparedness for
Our Pets |
If you find my website information to
be useful, I encourage you to purchase a copy of Speaking
for Spot. It will
provide the fundamental tools and skills you need to
make the most of the information and suggestions
provided on my website and its associated links. Speaking
for Spot will
help you navigate the expensive and often
overwhelming world of veterinary medicine. You will
learn how to effectively hold up your end of the
veterinarian/client communication process, solicit
explanations of the risks and benefits of all
diagnostic and therapeutic options, and have frank
discussion about costs. As an informed medical
advocate, you will have the ability to make the
choice that is best for your pet as well as your own
peace of mind. Speaking for Spot
may be the best $14.00 (through Amazon.com)
you spend in 2010! I would love to hear any ways in
which Speaking
for Spot has
helped you and your pets.
Advance planning is the key to
being prepared for an emergency or disaster.
Our pets deserve the same advance planning that we
do for our families and children. Listed below
are a number of resources that can give you
guidelines for advance preparation and supplies to
have on hand.
