Ratings and reviews

🐈 A great guide for cat and dog basic first aid! 🐕 While not a replacement for proper veterinary care, this app is very well done and easy to follow, full of useful info for dealing with a large variety of problems pet owners might face - with not just facts, but also videos to guide you in performing emergency first aid properly. It even has a place to put your vet's emergency contact number for quick reference, and quizzes so you can test yourself on what you've learned. Highly recommended!

Wonderful app. I would really appreciate a setting to allow me to show the cat info first. Right now when I open the app it defaults to dog info, which is useless to me as I don't have a dog. Allowing users to choose which pet they want to be the default would be an excellent addition to the app.

Great guide for cat/dog owners and sitters. Pretty easy to locate information, has a register area so people who find your phone have your pet's emergency info (like if you were in an accident, the first responders can see if your pet needs special Rx) and is a solid tool. Only works for dogs and cats though, so if it's a bird or hampster you wanted to know about, you're out of luck.
