In times like these, is there anyone who can take care of the pets left at home? Pets cannot ask for help themselves. It is essential for you, the pet owner, to be prepared for emergencies.
While you are still healthy, find someone who can take care of your pet in an emergency, such as someone who will take care of it temporarily or someone who will keep it for you for the rest of your life, and get that person's approval in advance. Let's keep it.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has created an emergency contact card. If you create an emergency contact card, you can let people around you know about your pet even if you are unable to do so yourself. You can fill in basic information about the owner and pet, your local veterinary hospital, and contact information for someone you can entrust your pet to in an emergency.
