RSPCA Victoria and CFA are calling on Victorians to include pets in their bushfire survival plans, as Victoria faces an increased risk of fires this summer, especially in drought-affected areas. 

Pet owners can save valuable time in fire emergencies by having bedding, food, and water ready to go for their furry friend. 

RSPCA Victoria Head of Prevention, Rebecca Cook highlighted the importance of including pets in bushfire survival plans. 

"Planning for emergencies is part of life in Victoria, and is critical during the summer months," Ms Cook said.

"We're urging everyone to make sure their pets are included in their Fire Ready plans in place ahead of what could be a very dangerous fire season this year."
