A printable pet emergency card and info sheet for dogs and cats. It's for pet owners who want their pet's key medical details, vet, and emergency contacts written down on paper, with cards for your wallet and glove compartment, a two-page info sheet for your go-bag and your backup caregiver, and a page for the phone numbers you may not know by heart.

Don't wait until you need it. Much of your pet’s information may be stored digitally. Use these pages to keep your own paper copy of key details, such as medications, allergies, vaccine history, and veterinary contacts, ready to bring if your clinic’s power or computer system is down, you’re seeing a new or emergency veterinarian, or you’re traveling away from home.

Made to be printed and completed by hand, but also includes fillable fields for digital use. Digital filling may vary by device and PDF app.

For anyone who may need to care for your pet when you can't:

  • A neighbor or friend who has to go in and care for your pet because you can't get home
  • A boarding place or shelter taking your pet during an evacuation
  • An emergency vet who has never seen your pet
  • A family member, if something happens to you

Keep copies of your pet's papers in something waterproof, and a second set on your phone or email.

  • 11 pages: 7 printables (pet emergency cards, "pets at home" cards, a two-page medical info sheet, a records checklist, an important phone numbers page, and a pet photos and ownership records page) and a short two-page start-here section
  • Instant download: nothing is shipped and nothing to wait for. Your PDF is ready right after checkout.
  • Print at home on regular 8.5 x 11 inch printer paper
  • Print as many copies as you need for your pets
  • For dogs and cats

For general information and organization only. Not veterinary advice, and not official proof of vaccination or ownership. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this pet emergency card instead of going to the vet?

No, never. This kit only holds information you write down from your pet's records, your veterinarian, and your own notes. It can't tell you what is wrong or what to do. If your pet seems sick, hurt, in pain, or just "not right," call your veterinarian or the nearest emergency animal hospital right away.

What is a pet emergency card?

A pet emergency card is a small card with your pet's key details, your contacts, and your vet's phone number, for your wallet or glove compartment. Each sheet in this kit has one big card and two fold-over wallet cards.

Is there a pet emergency card for your wallet?

Yes. The two fold-over wallet cards fold to about 3.5 x 2 inches, about the size of a business card. There's also a big card for your glove compartment.

Is this a pet home alone wallet card?

Yes. The "pets at home" alert cards let people know you have pets at home and who to call if you can't get home.

What goes on a pet emergency information sheet?

Your pet's description and microchip number, allergies, medicines, food, behavior notes, and your vet's contact details. This one is two pages for each dog or cat, filled in from your pet's records, your vet's instructions, and what you've seen yourself.

Is this official proof of vaccination?

No. It's your own copy for keeping track. It isn't official proof of vaccination, ownership, or a prescription. Ask your veterinarian for copies of the records themselves, since a shelter, boarding facility, or new clinic may ask for them.

Does it work for more than one pet?

Yes, for dogs and cats. Fill in a card sheet, the info sheet, and a photo page for each pet, and print as many as you need.

Is there an app, or is this on paper?

It's a fillable PDF you download right after checkout: print it and write by hand, or type in it. There's no app or login, nothing is shipped, and no plastic cards are included. Digital filling may vary by device and PDF app. When the power or the computers go down, paper still works.

Is this the same as the Pet Emergency Kit Checklist & Go-Bag Planner?

No, but they overlap a little. That planner covers the go-bag, the evacuation plan, and supplies for staying home. This kit goes deeper on your pet's medical details and contacts.

Other Information

Pet Emergency Card: For the Moments You Can't Look It Up

  • You're at an emergency animal hospital after hours, and they ask which medicines your dog takes and who prescribed them.
  • Your phone battery is almost gone, and your pet sitter's number is only in your phone.
  • You're stuck across town in a snowstorm, and nobody knows your cat is home alone.
  • A friend is caring for your dog and asks about food, walks, and which door he tries to slip out of.
  • A boarding facility asks for proof of vaccinations, and you need to find where your copies are kept.

The Pet Emergency Card & Info Sheet is made for these moments, so your pet's key details are on paper and on hand.

Common Pet Emergency Card Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

  • Mistake #1: Keeping everything on one phone. Solution: Keep a paper copy too. Paper doesn't need a charger, a signal, or a login.
  • Mistake #2: Filling it in once and never updating it. Solution: When something changes, like a new medicine or a new phone number, print a fresh page and write in the update.
