[Vancouver, BC March 21, 2025] — What happens when disaster strikes and your dog thinks the “Go Bag” is his new chew toy? Or when your cat uses your emergency evacuation list… as a litter box liner? If you've ever wondered how to keep your furry companions safe during a crisis without losing your sanity, it's time to grab your copy of FUR-ST AID: 5 Hilarious Yet Helpful Ways to Protect Your Pets in Emergencies by emergency preparedness expert and pet-loving author Tina Ginn.

Would your pet survive a natural disaster?
Does your dog know what to pack in a bug-out bag?
Are you emotionally prepared to be barked at while sheltering in place with three wet dogs and a traumatized turtle?

If not, you're not alone—and you're exactly who this book is for.

Packed with gut-busting stories, practical tips, and “I-can’t-believe-that-happened” moments, FUR-ST AID is part guide, part comedy show, and 100% essential for anyone who shares their life with a pet and a mild fear of the apocalypse.

Highlight Reel from Inside the Book:
One standout tale features “Whiskers the Warrior,” a notoriously aloof tabby who accidentally activated the family’s emergency alert system by jumping on the panic button mid-nap. Emergency services arrived, only to find Whiskers proudly sitting on a pile of pre-packed pet food like Mufasa on Pride Rock. The takeaway? Your cat might not care about fire drills, but you should.

And then there's “Tank the Pomeranian,” who made international headlines (okay, just the neighborhood newsletter) after being spotted wearing a glow stick necklace and dragging his owner's emergency kit across the yard. “He thought it was fetch,” says Tina. “Turns out, it was preparedness.”
