Who it's for

Is the Emergency Kit right for you?

A good fit if

  • You'd like a plan for your dog written down before an emergency happens.
  • Someone else might need to step in if you couldn't get home.
  • You're putting together a go-bag and want a checklist to pack from.
  • You want your dog's ID, microchip, medications, and behavior notes on one page you can hand to someone.

Not the right fit for

  • First aid training. The first aid kit checklist is for building a kit with your vet's advice. If your dog is hurt or ill, call your vet or a 24-hour clinic.
  • Official emergency instructions. In a disaster, follow the guidance of your local emergency officials.
  • A ready-made kit. It's a printable PDF: you gather the supplies yourself, using the checklists.
Our approach

How we make our guides

Built from published guidance

We work from the published guidance of veterinary and animal behavior organizations such as the AVMA, AAHA, AVSAB, WSAVA, and the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. We name them as sources only. They have not reviewed or endorsed our guides.

Your vet's advice comes first

The first aid kit checklist is meant to be put together with your vet's advice. For any injury or illness, call your vet or a 24-hour clinic.

Made to be printed

US Letter pages that print clearly in black and white, so you can keep copies in your go-bag and at home.

What we won't do

We won't promise results, invent reviews, or suggest that any organization stands behind us. If something in a guide doesn't help, the 14-day money-back guarantee covers you.
