Research and funding are making insects more viable in pet food.
Last year, insects ranked No. 1 among all pet food ingredients searched for on PetfoodIndustry.com – more than several other ingredients prevalent in the news, such as potatoes, taurine, and CBD.

Since June is National Pet Preparedness Month, here is a list of articles to help us all prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.

A disaster can displace people and pets from their homes and they might need to be rescued and cared for to ensure they survive the event. There are things we can and must do to help achieve a positive outcome.

But here's the thing: Not everybody gets to go home and resume their lives where they left off. Because advance preparations will help, it must be noted that the "disaster" may not be what you expected either.

I'm talking about the following:
1. Natural events (Storms, floods, fires, etc.)
2. Manmade disasters (War, terrorism, chemical spills, industrial accidents, etc.)
3. The Ultimate Disaster (illness or death of the pet's owner.)

In all of these, we must ask ourselves: What do you want to happen to your pets if you can't be there for them?

To explore discussions on the usual scenarios, visit my website: http://ccadrt.1hwy.com.

Then save the following links to consider the options and strategies for helping your animals when you no longer can:

What happens to your pets after you’re gone? Here’s how to protect them.

For ALL of the above scenarios, start with an emergency plan, even if you have a will. Because probating a will can take a long time, you need to have early, short term arrangements made in advance and stated in the will. For example, it may be necessary to have a neighbor feed the dog for a few days until relatives can arrive to pick him up. Creating a trust can help by providing money early in the process to take care of any pets. Discuss these things with your attorney to be sure they are included in estate handling plans.

Otherwise, pets that are simply found on the property generally will be taken to an animal control facility, where they could be euthanized.
