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!

It's easy reading, with a lot of information about Pet first aid. I like the quizzes you can take, and if you make a mistake on it, you can retake it! I had no idea I could get this app!

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.
