In an emergency, who will take care of your pet?
It’s not a topic anyone really enjoys talking about, but it is a necessary conversation to have with yourself as a pet owner. When it comes to emergency preparedness, don’t forget to include your furry pal in your plans! We are responsible for caring for our pets and being their voice, but what about instances when we can’t speak for them?
Pocket-Sized Peace of Mind
Let your pet wallet card do the talking when you can’t. In an emergency, your wallet card acts as a safety net to ensure your pet is cared for, no matter the situation. Your emergency pet care plan launches into motion the moment someone references your wallet card. It turns out that carrying this little piece of plastic on you has a ton of benefits, so let’s get into them!
Small but mighty, your wallet card packs a punch by showcasing your pet’s most important information. Available in six eye-catching colours to ensure it sticks out from the other cards in your wallet, first responders can reference this card and know you have a pet requiring care at home and understand exactly who they need to contact. Our HomeSafe™ 24/7 lost pet service hotline is also listed and ready to assist should your emergency contacts be unavailable.
Your wallet card also features your pet’s photo, biographical information, and temperament while keeping their most important information easily accessible to anyone who might need it. Through the QR code and URL included on the back, your card links directly to your pet’s comprehensive online profile, which houses essential information such as care instructions, medical details, feeding schedules, and more. These details are important for emergency contacts who may need to care for your pet temporarily. You have complete control over what information is shown publicly when the QR code is scanned, and these settings can be changed at any time in your online DocuPet account under “Profile Settings.”
A wallet card in your pocket can help to provide comfort, but most importantly, an emergency plan by enabling quick coordination of pet care with first responders or neighbours, with no questions asked.
Proof of Ownership
Outside of emergencies, a wallet card can be handy when looking for a lost pet. We can’t plan for when a pet goes missing, but we can be prepared.
If someone finds your lost pet, they may do their due diligence and ask that you verify ownership. Most people don’t carry their pet’s vet records or microchip information with them on a daily basis, but thankfully your wallet card can give them direct access to this information! One scan of the card’s QR code, and they can verify this information via your pet’s online profile (that is if you don’t have these details set to private in your settings).
A wallet card is a beneficial resource to have at your disposal when you’re in a pinch and don’t have time to print out posters or handouts of your lost pet. If you’re out searching for them, a wallet card serves as a quick and compact visual reference when asking people if they’ve seen your pet since it includes a photo of them right on the card.
Your Pet’s Most Important Information Within Reach
