Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this planner instead of going to the vet?
No, never. This planner helps you prepare and stay organized, and it never replaces your veterinarian. If your pet seems sick, hurt, or just "not right," during an emergency or any time, call your veterinarian or the nearest emergency animal hospital right away.
What goes on a pet emergency kit checklist?
Food and water, extra medicine, ID and records, a carrier, sanitation supplies, comfort items, and a pet first aid kit. The go-bag checklist has a line for each, with a place for expiration dates.
What should be in an emergency kit for dogs or cats?
Food and water, extra medicine, a leash or carrier, backup ID, copies of records, and a few familiar things from home, plus poop bags for dogs and litter supplies for cats. The go-bag checklist works for both, as a dog go bag or a cat go bag.
Is this a pet emergency kit?
It's a printable planner and checklist for putting together your own pet emergency kit. Nothing is shipped, and no supplies are included.
Is this the same as a pet bug out bag list?
Yes. A "bug out bag" is another name for a go-bag. The pet go-bag checklist covers the same kinds of things a dog or cat bug out bag list would.
What should I do with my pets during a power outage?
Keep them with you, and have food, water, medicine, and blankets on hand. The stay-home pet supply planner helps you work out what you need. Ask your veterinarian the best way to keep your pet cool in a summer outage, or warm in a winter one.
Does it work for more than one pet?
Yes, for dogs and cats. The checklist and door alert each have a place to list several pets, each pet gets their own ID card, and you can print a set for each pet.
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, and nothing is shipped. 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 Card & Info Sheet?
No, but they overlap a little. This planner covers the go-bag, the evacuation plan, and supplies for staying home. The Pet Emergency Card & Info Sheet goes deeper on your pet's medical details and contacts.
How does my purchase help shelter and rescue pets?
3% of your purchase price (excluding shipping and taxes) goes to help participating animal shelters and rescues.
