"Essential Tips to Protect Pets from Wildfire Smoke and Poor Air Quality"

PETA emphasizes the importance of having an emergency evacuation plan that includes pets to ensure they are not left behind during wildfires. Essential items for an animal evacuation kit include food, water, toys, veterinarian records, and contact information for local shelters. Planning ahead when there is no emergency can help ensure pets' safety. If larger animals cannot be evacuated, they should not be confined so they can escape the flames. In case of seeing abandoned animals, assist if possible or alert emergency services.
