Great for pets Love this app! It has a lot of useful information for both dogs and cats. It also gives information for different sizes or dogs instead of like some apps that just give general information for all dogs. I would recommend that every dog and cat owner have this just in case an emergency comes up. It would be nice if it included more species of animals though. It can help in an emergency but nothing takes the place of proper care and regular vet check ups to ensure that your pet has a long healthy life.

Needs more pets I love that this exists, I feel it's very needed. However, cats and dogs aren't the only animals tha t have emergencies. I'd like to see it expand to include more pets that are equally as common : bunnies, hamsters, rats, birds, snakes, bearded dragons. I feel like having it just for my cat is awkward

Your video for pet first-aid does not work it always says sign in and I tried it over a couple different Android phones

Invasive Info Permissions An app meant to serve data doesn't need to collect so much of mine...

Janice Wallace

Don't understand why you need access to all those permissions.

Some Issues You can't get the answer correct on CPR for pets. No matter which one you choose.

Maria Jimenez July 26, 2016

Very informative and helpful for both cats and dogs.

Wendy Hope July 12, 2016

Wendy H. EVERY pet owner should have this app!!!

Good Emergancy Awareness Very good to know about if your pet has an emergency. Love it!

Sabrina Cummins June 19, 2016

Russ Aikman August 17, 2016

Natalie Tonche September 3, 2016

Awsome

Jeremy Ellwood January 29, 2015

Nice but... This is a very nice basic app for pet owners who might need a "fingertips" reference. I do recommend it. HOWEVER, I am uninstalling and getting a refund based on principle alone. The fact that I have to buy it for every device is not, in my opinion, acceptable. It should be by account. Doesn't matter if it's 99 cents or 99 dollars.

diane moore-trombi March 13, 2015

Free App for My Pets This is a great FREE app like all other Red Cross apps. I think the other reviewers are confusing it with another app by another company. Anyway it's a handy quick resource.

Josie Brooks January 2, 2016

Thank goodness! Seriously, my great pyrenees cut his paw on broken glass very badly and I wouldn't have known what to do if it wasn't for this app. I'm so greatful for whoever created the app! Thank you!

Amanda Renfrow April 1, 2015

Its not all that helpful I tried to look up something for a neighbors dog and it wouldn't give me any real help I try other things and it says the same thing every time then when I tried to uninstall it it locked up my phone three times and I still can't get it off

Kel Sob February 10, 2015

Great to have Jeremy - in general, you should not be charged for the same app on the same platform (example: Google = all Android devices, App Store= all iOs devices). Be sure that you are signed into the same Google account that you first purchased the app on, and when you go to download that same app, you should just see the “install" option. ***<--- Me, former tech support for a major wireless carrier*** #geek As a pet sitter, this is a great tool.

Jessica Romanelli March 15, 2016

Great! I actually work in a animal hospital and this information is excellent. Many great informative videos and directions. Including how to give CPR, and do the Heimlich on your pet. Also how to tell if your pets temperature, breathing and pulse are normal among many others.

Ally AJ December 30, 2015

Not all pets are dogs and cats. Please include small mammals, reptiles and fish. Examples: Rats, mice, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, lizards, geckos, turtles, tortoises, and, not exactly a fish but, sea anemones.

Noah R October 14, 2015

Great info, easy to use app The information in this app is basically a simplified version of what's in the book/DVD. I love how it includes little tests and badges to earn, great practice (just in case).

April 23, 2015

Good for my kitten woogy Its good to know what to do if something to bad happens to him his 5 weeks old this is a good app

Deborah Crossley March 11, 2016

Pets are family I love the quiz after each section. I find it to be very informative & I actually learned a few things that I thought I already knew but didn't

Nicholas Welna January 5, 2016

Good! UI bug though. Overflow menu has Black text on a dark background on my phone. Nexus 5X running Android M.

Custom Trained October 2, 2015

The first aid part is very good but doing a search of emergency hospitals it didn't locate the main one for my area which is less than 5 miles away. Which if travelling I don't know if I could trust that app to give me accurate local info.

Bill Singleton June 19, 2016

Only used it twice in the past couple years I've had it - saved my wife's cat each time! If you have a pet, keep this on hand at all times just in case.

Max G. Mahaffee, Esq. January 31, 2016

Not as stated One of the descriptions of this app where is "when it is time to say goodbye." When I installed it and looked at that section, it was only stating what to do after the loss of your pet. With that I uninstalled it.

Carlee Gresham June 26, 2015

Must-have app for the pet care industry I especially loved the CPR videos. Wish there was one for the flat-chested breeds, though.

Maria Molina March 31, 2016

It's a great app! Thank you for making this app! I love my kitty very much and hope to never have to use this app but if something did happen to him or another animal I'd be able to help thanks to you guys!

Pat Tune June 23, 2015

Lot of good to know information. Very informative and like the quizzes to test myself. If you have pets you need to know the information in this App!!!!!

Mihail Nica November 16, 2015

Great app Very useful and informative, well laid out and easy to find information quickly.

Mindy Ursitti March 23, 2016

Great Pet App. I have cats and dogs handy to have with you especially out on a walk.

Sarah Chuba December 2, 2015

App stops working I can't rate the info this app contains because it doesn't stay open long enough for me to access the information. I'm uninstalling for now. I might try this app again at a later date to see if it's been fixed.

Green Dagny March 13, 2016

Peace of mind Makes me feel like I can be ready if needed.

raven stofford February 2, 2016

The best app I've downloaded Tyvm I rescue a lot if dogs & this app is wonderful. Never had a problem with it tag.
