This is a great idea sent to me by one of the TAPF followers…a emergency alert card to carry in your wallet to notify authorities you have pets at home that need to be cared for in case you are injured or become ill.

Many pet owners live alone and worry that should an accident or illness occur, who would care for their pets. Below is an example card (business card size) you can print to carry in your wallet (or design your own).

Fill in the emergency contact information of family or friends who have access to your home and can care for your pets and carry in your wallet.

Thanks to Jan for sending this!!!


Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,
