Interesting emergency kits — oxygen masks designed for pets
Does your local fire department, police department, or other emergency responder stock oxygen masks or breathing apparatus suitable to help a pet dog or cat in an emergency? Yes? No?
I just ran onto a story about a Virginia community where a pet lover donated and helped raise money for such pet emergency response kits. It sounded like a worthy idea to me, and I don't really know whether our local emergency people have such kits or not.
How about where you live? Do they have such kits to help pets in an emergency?
The article I've linked to above explain what the kits are and when or where they might be useful. It would be a nice idea if more communities would consider such emergency kits. At something like $85 per kit, I suspect most cities, towns, and counties really could afford one or two if they wanted. If not, why not organize a fundraiser?
