This card organises contacts and alerts. For an urgent health concern, contact a veterinary professional rather than relying on the card alone.

Useful, not just printable

Make the schedule clear enough for another person to use

The blank downloads are convenient. The guided version helps catch the small details that static forms often leave open to interpretation.

What it covers

  • Owner and trusted local backup contact
  • Regular veterinary practice and out-of-hours number
  • Short alerts for allergies and current medication
  • An agreed route for urgent concerns
  • A handling or carrier note another person can follow safely

What to prepare

  • Check every phone number before you leave
  • Ask the registered practice how its out-of-hours service works
  • Keep full medication and medical records somewhere appropriate
  • Tell the backup contact what role they have agreed to take
  • Place the printed card where the sitter can reach it without exposing access details

Details people forget

  • The out-of-hours provider may use a different number or location
  • A backup contact needs to know they have been nominated
  • The sitter may need the carrier location before travelling to a vet
  • A concise identification note helps when speaking by phone
  • Alarm codes, passwords and payment details do not belong on the card

Fictional example

What useful detail looks like

These made-up notes demonstrate clarity only. They are not instructions for another pet.

Owner
Alex - call the stored number first.
Backup
Sam lives locally and has agreed to help if Alex cannot be reached.
Vet
Use the checked regular-practice number; its voicemail gives the current out-of-hours route.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Should I put my address or alarm code on the card?

No. Arrange access through a separate trusted channel and keep reusable credentials off general handover documents.

Does the card replace full medical records?

No. It is a compact contact and alert card, not a veterinary history or treatment authorisation.

Where should I leave the printed card?

Choose an agreed, easy-to-find place that does not expose it to visitors or the public.

Where is the draft stored?

The working draft stays in this browser and expires after 30 days without activity.
