Many of us consider our pets part of the family, therefore preparing an emergency kit or food storage supply for our pets is just as important as prepping for the rest of the family.

Storing a supply of dry pet food in Mylar bags is an effortless way to get started, but keep in mind that due to the oils and fats in most dog and cat foods, it will need to be rotated periodically.

We have come up with a list of pet essentials you might need in an emergency:
