PRESS RELEASE: New Emergency Preparedness Kit Features Forms for Pet Sitters and Pet Hotels

Wag’N Rover Respond’R® v3.0 Mobile Emergency Information Kit helps pets and their owners prepare for a variety of emergencies.

Herndon, VA (PRWEB) February 26, 2012. Pet safety innovator Wag’N Enterprises this week unveiled a comprehensive addition to their Wag’N Rover Respond’R® Mobile Emergency Information Kit. The updated kit now gives pet owners the ability to communicate vital information to pet sitters and pet boarding facilities.

The third version of the kit includes two new forms. The new “Pet Sitter” form provides a pet’s temporary guardian with detailed instructions and an action plan in the event that the owner is unreachable or incapacitated due to an emergency situation. Likewise the new “Pet Boarding” form contains meticulous instructions for both the boarding facility and first responders in case of an emergency.

Accidents happen and, whether a pet travels with its owner, gets boarded at a pet hotel or remains at home whilst supervised by pet sitters, emergency situations can greatly impact the well being of all four-legged friends. When important pet information cannot be communicated due to parental impairment, standard and critical pet care may be delayed or suspended. Wag’N Enterprises created the Wag’N Rover Respond’R® v3.0 Mobile Emergency Information Kit to equip pet parents with all the pet emergency preparedness documents necessary in case of an emergency, and to help keep an unfortunate situation from becoming a devastating one.

Being prepared for a pet-related medical emergency, accident, or disaster is invaluable—especially when tensions are high. This interactive kit assists pet owners in providing EMS, police, as well as fire and rescue responders with important contact and pet information.

“This updated version of the Wag’N Rover Respond’R® kit gives pet owners peace of mind whether they are traveling with their pets, away from home and/or away from their pets, “ says Ines de Pablo, President & CEO and national pet safety expert and advocate. “By having these easy to complete, yet comprehensive preparedness forms at their fingertips, pet sitters and pet boarding facilities now possess the tools to take even better care of their four legged guests.”

Wag’N also announced that its Wag’N Rover Respond’R® Mobile Emergency Information Kit version 3.0 and all further releases will be included as an fundamental element of its Personalized Emergency Training services (PETS) Program™, aimed at providing top of line pet safety and pet emergency management training services to pet boarding facilities, kennels, animal shelters and pet sitters. “Wag’N take an all-hazards approach to pet safety. Any facility that kennels and cares for pets needs to have plans in place to respond to natural and/or man-made emergencies to keep it from becoming a disaster.” De Pablo stated.

Pet owners can complete the interactive PDF forms on their computer, or print them out and/or fill the information in by hand. One copy goes to the pet sitter or boarding facility, and one copy stays with the pet owner, tucked safely into the folder pocket of the kit. After filling out the required documentation, pet parents simply place the completed Rover Respond’R® 3.0 kit in the glove box of their vehicle and affix the included alert decals to tell first responders about its existence and whereabouts.

The following items are included in the Wag’N Rover Respond’R® v3.0 kit:

    1 Mobile Emergency Pocket Folder (document carrier)
    1 Wag’N Rover Respond’R® Vehicle Alert Decals
    2 Wag’N Rover Respond’R® Home Alert Decals to alert first responders of the number of pets in the home.
    2 Wag’N Rover Respond’R® Animal Transport Forms for first responder use during an emergency only.
    1 Wag’N Pet Passport® for documenting a pet’s medical history, proof of ownership and vaccinations, a photo of the pet and emergency contact numbers.
    1 CD-ROM with interactive documentation forms including a Pet Owner Information Form, Emergency Contact Form, Pet Profile Form, Pet Boarding and Pet Sitter Forms, printable Emergency Wallet Card, printable Lost Pet Poster and Printable Stolen Pet Poster.

The Wag’N Rover Respond’R® v3.0 kit is affordably priced at $34.95, and is available for both retail and wholesale distribution. Since pet parents can save all the information on their computers, information can easily be updated and reprinted when they need it and no matter what types and numbers of pets they own. “The only constant is change. As life wags along, pet parents can now easily prepare for the unexpected” De Pablo affirmed.
