What Happens If You Can’t Get Home To Your Pet?

Most pet owners don’t plan for emergencies. A normal day can change quickly—a car accident, a fall, a sudden health issue—and if you live alone or can’t reach your phone, there’s no easy way to let anyone know your pets are at home on their own.

It’s not about being dramatic. It’s about recognising that your dog, cat, or rabbit is completely dependent on you—and if you can’t get back, they may go hours or even days without care. No food. No water. No medication. No company.

That’s where our cards come in. They're kept in your wallet or bag and clearly say that you have pets at home who need checking. If someone finds you unconscious, taken to hospital, or unable to speak, they’ll have a simple way to get the right person involved.

Emergency Pet Contact Cards That Speak For You

When something serious happens, the last thing anyone is thinking about is your pet. If you’re not in a position to explain, our cards quietly step in. They give someone just enough information to act—without needing to look through your phone or ask around.

Our cards show:

• Your name and mobile number

• A named contact who can access your home

• The name or names of your pets

• A small photo for quick recognition

That’s all most people need to help. The message on the card is direct and clear, with no guesswork. There’s a version for people with more than one pet, and a version for single-pet households.

Everything’s printed on a durable, credit-card sized plastic card that’s easy to keep with you—no apps, no tech, just simple information that could save your pet a lot of stress.

Why First Responders Need To Know About Your Pets

When emergency services arrive on the scene, they’re working fast. Their job is to treat you, get you to safety, and keep things moving. If you have no way to speak or communicate, they won’t automatically know you’ve got animals at home.

But if they spot one of our cards, that changes things. It puts your pets on the radar straight away. They can pass the information to hospital staff or contact the named person on the card. In some cases, it might even prompt a welfare check at your home.

It won’t hold up urgent care or interfere with what they’re doing—but it does mean your pets won’t be forgotten in the rush. And if you’ve ever wondered how anyone would know you even had animals at home, this is your answer.

Real Peace Of Mind For Pet Owners Who Live Alone Or Travel Often

If you live on your own, you already know there’s no one else coming in behind you. If something unexpected happens while you’re out, there’s no one who just happens to know about your pets. That responsibility sits with you.

The same goes for anyone who travels for work, commutes long distances, or spends time in places where signal is unreliable. If you can’t check in or make contact, you need a backup.

Our cards don’t need charging, updating, or explaining. They sit in your wallet quietly, and do their job if things go wrong. Customers include teachers, nurses, delivery drivers, and people with health conditions that mean they like to feel prepared—just in case.

It’s not about worrying more. It’s about knowing you’ve already thought ahead.

Choose The Right Pet Safety Card And Be Ready For Anything

Our cards are small, practical, and built for real life. They take just a couple of minutes to fill in, but they can make hours of difference for your pet if you’re delayed, unreachable, or in trouble.

You can choose the version that suits your household—whether you’ve got one animal or several—and add the details that make it easy for someone to help. We print each card on biodegradable plastic and post it straight to you.
