How to read the result
The result is a rough estimate using the same category-level price ranges as the Japanese article: food, water, carriers, toilet supplies, ID tags, and related supplies. It keeps Japan-based assumptions and does not convert the estimate into overseas price levels.
Check your municipality's official pet evacuation rules before an emergency. For medication, therapeutic food, chronic conditions, or health-related preparation, consult your veterinarian.
Cost items included
| Item | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Consumables | Food, water, potty pads, cat litter, and waste bags increase with stock duration and number of pets. |
| Carry-out supplies | Carriers, collars, leashes, harnesses, bowls, and ID tags should be checked for size, condition, and portability. |
| Cage or foldable pen | Need depends on evacuation sites, staying home, car evacuation, and temporary care plans. |
| Medication and therapeutic food | This tool does not calculate amounts. Ask your veterinarian how much to prepare and how to store it safely. |

FAQ
How many days of pet emergency supplies should I prepare?
Official and municipal guidance commonly uses at least 5 days, ideally 7 days or more, as a benchmark. If you choose 10 days, also check storage space and expiration-date management.
Do I need to buy more if I already have a carrier and toilet supplies?
First check whether your existing items are undamaged, correctly sized, and easy to take out. Then add consumables such as familiar food, water, toilet supplies, and waste bags.
Are pet supplies available at evacuation sites?
It depends on the municipality and evacuation site. Check your own municipality's official information and do not assume supplies will be available.
Is buying a ready-made disaster kit enough?
A kit can be a useful starting point, but you still need to check your pet's size, familiar food, medication, toilet preferences, and local rules.
