As you probably know by now, I have two dogs: Hank and Elvis Parsley. And while you might see me with one or both of them at our local hardware store, I can’t take them everywhere with me.
If – God forbid – something were to happen to me or there were an emergency at the house, I would want to make sure that they were taken care of and safe.
I saw a card like this on Facebook and thought it was genius.
It’s a card that you can keep in your wallet so that, in the event of an emergency, someone knows your pet is at home alone.
I thought it was such a good idea that I made a bunch of them that you can download and print for your wallet!
Here’s how to do it:
- Click on the card you want, below. There are cards for pet, pets, dog, dogs, cat, and cats.
- A non-watermarked version of the card will open in a new window in your browser. Save it to your computer (either by right-clicking on the image or by File -> Save).
- Open the saved file and print. Make sure you don’t have the “fit to page” setting in your print dialogue box checked.
- Put your emergency contact information on the reverse side of the card.
- If you want, you can even laminate it to make it more durable (affiliate link: you can buy laminating sheets here).

Also, I have a decal like the one below on our front and back door windows at home. I got the decal from my vet’s office, but they don’t give them away anymore. So I made one to share with you – just follow the same instructions above: click on it to download the non-watermarked version, save it, print it, fill in the number and type of pet(s) and your vet’s information, and then hang on your home’s door or window.

Please share with your friends with pets!
A "recovering lawyer," I turned in my power suits for power tools and a life of DIY. I believe in merging old and new to make a house a home.
What a neat idea! I’m sharing with all my pet loving friends, a few who do live alone! Karen
Excellent! Thanks, Karen!
Brilliant! 🙂 Thank you!!!!
Thanks, Christina!
I just mentioned this idea to my husband a few weeks ago on our way home from visiting both of our children who are attending the same college. I said God forbid if something happened to us on our way home what would happened to our sweet Westie Coconut, thank you so much for sharing these!
I know what you mean – pets are part of our family and we want to make sure they’re safe and fine, too. Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for doing this. It also sparks a conversation between you and the person you ultimately make your “person on the other side”. A huge fear of mine has always been that in case of a serious accident, my pets would be sent to the pound.So again, have discussion with your designee, in my case she would be caretaker until my kids could come up and help or take over.
Absolutely! Thank you!
Hi! I love your format with these tags. But I was wondering if you had a key tag version? My husband wants one on his keychain, he believes someone would see it more clearly. Or maybe a key tag that mentions the card in your wallet? Just thoughts.
That is a great idea!! I don’t have a key tag version, but you could just reduce the size of the wallet printable when you print it, then laminate and punch a hole in it for putting on the key chain. If that doesn’t work, please let me know and I’ll see if I can resize them. Thanks!
