How My Pets Are Home Alone ID Cards Safeguard Your Pets During Emergencies

My Pets are Home Alone ID Cards by The Card Project UK

The Risks Pets Face When Left Home Alone

When it comes to our pets, they are more than just animals; they are family members. Many pet owners face a worrying scenario whenever they step out of their homes: what would happen to their pets if something unexpected occurred to them while they were away? This concern isn't unwarranted. A significant number of pets are left vulnerable each year due to accidents or emergencies that befall their owners when they are not at home. Addressing this issue requires awareness and proactive measures to ensure the safety and welfare of pets during such unforeseen circumstances.

The Statistics: Understanding the Scale of the Problem

Emergencies that leave pets stranded after an incident involving their owners are more common than one might expect. In the UK, it is estimated that millions of households have pets. According to a survey conducted by the RSPCA, around 51% of adults in the UK own a pet, which includes approximately 10.9 million pet cats and 10.1 million pet dogs. With such high numbers, even a small percentage of incidents can affect a significant number of animals.

Research indicates that a considerable number of pet owners, unfortunately, do not have a solid emergency plan for their pets. A study revealed that less than 40% of pet owners have prepared an emergency plan in place for their pets to be taken care of if something were to happen to them.

What Happens to Pets When Owners Are Unexpectedly Absent?

When an owner gets injured, falls ill suddenly, or is involved in an accident away from home, pets are left to fend for themselves. The primary risks include:

Lack of access to food and water: Pets could suffer from dehydration or starvation if they are left alone for an extended period without anyone to replenish their supplies.
Medical needs: Pets with chronic conditions or those requiring regular medication could face severe health risks without their owner's care.
Stress and anxiety: The absence of a family member can cause significant distress for pets, particularly for dogs and cats, which are susceptible to separation anxiety.
Potential for accidents: Unsupervised pets might try to escape or get into hazardous materials or situations within the home, leading to injuries or worse.

Peace of Mind for Pet Owners

Having an ID card provides assurance that your pets will not be forgotten in case of an emergency. Knowing that provisions are in place for your pets’ care can significantly reduce stress and anxiety for pet owners. This peace of mind is invaluable, allowing you to focus on handling the emergency without additional worry about your pets' immediate safety.

Our ID cards cater to all types of pet households. Whether you have one dog, several cats, or a variety of pets, our cards are customizable to include details for each pet. This ensures that every animal in your household is accounted for, and their specific needs can be addressed even when you’re not there to do so yourself.

Without a pet ID card, the repercussions for your pets could be dire in the event of your unexpected absence. Pets may endure prolonged periods without essential care, leading to health emergencies or worse. Emergency responders and neighbours who are unaware of your pets can't offer the necessary assistance if they do not possess the correct information.

Our cards are designed to offer immediate access to vital information that can facilitate the swift care of your pets. Available as "My Pet Is Home Alone" or "My Pets Are Home Alone, they all include the following.

Your pet’s name and photo for easy identification
Your contact details
An emergency contact or your vet’s details
