Get Prepared at #Pet1stAid Twitter Party

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

September is National Preparedness Month and we're here today to help you prepare your pets. Kids are heading back to school and yet it is still Hurricane season here in Florida for nearly 2 1/2 more months. This is the perfect time to make sure that we all know what we need to know to care for our pets in the event of a disaster or injury. Join @DogTipper and @AllThingsDog for another fun and educational @EventBarkers Twitter Party: #Pet1stAid, with our sponsor @DrEmmo1 and our guest host, @ArdenKnowsPets. You may know her as Arden Moore. Be sure to follow us all on Twitter to assure that you don't miss any of the news, and are able to win prizes at the Twitter Party.

You can start preparing right now with one click. Dr. Emmo's is offering a set of 2 FREE samples of their Wound Wash and Wound Care Gel for pets. All you pay is a small fee to ship and you'll get these terrific, travel size bottles that can be clipped to your backpack, belt loop or even a dog's harness. That's a $12 value for a thrifty 3 bucks! They're perfect for hiking, camping, evacuation readiness and anytime you're out and about doing active things with Fido. Grab yours now at the link or just click on the image below.

We'll be offering lots of helpful, expert tips on how to fix all sorts of pet boo-boos, while handing off lots of bottles of  Dr. Emmo's terrific first aid products, in addition to some extra goodies to offer your pets some comfort during an evacuation or storm, and preparedness for these tough times. Oh, and did I mention the $100 Gift Card that will be included in the Grand Prize? We'll call that your disaster fund! Spend this baby on anything you need. More details on the prizes to come...
