In the event of an immediate disaster, would you be ready to drop everything—including your pet—and go? Pet owners in the U.S. weighed in on the matter in a recent survey, conducted by PetSmart Charities. To mark the beginning of hurricane and wildfires seasons across the country, the nonprofit organization asked owners about emergency and evacuation preparedness and the ways in which pets factor into their plans.
