🐈 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!

This app is very informative. Included within app is a variety of Important information about keeping your pet healthy. Gives advice on what to do in case of certain situations, many are listed & details are included. From what I can tell it's a free app without any ads thus far which I've been reading different aspects of the app 4 the last 45 minutes& have yet to encounter even 1ad.. That's a huge plus. No issues aside from being able 2 input my puppies age of 5 months they do not have that op

I think most people reviewing this app like the idea, but haven't tried to use it. We travel often with our pets, and live in a disaster-prone area, thought this could be useful info. Every time I've tried to look something up, the app describes the symptoms and then says to call a vet. No meaningful guidance whatsoever. I think the Red Cross is more worried about their liability than giving good advice. Will be deleting and buying a vet tech emergency textbook.
