Must have app for pet owners

I had this app downloaded but hardly browsed to see how much information has been made available on it. When my dog woke me up at night gagging and pacing with a bloated stomach, I used this app and got to ease her suffering within a few hours of the onset of symptoms. Thanks for such a great app!

Awful app, zero credibility

Great App! Easy to Use

*Disclaimer this app is meant to help buy a little extra time in emergencies. It should not be used as a replacement to veterinarian care only as an addition to professional clinic medical care. Anyways, I love how simple it is to switch between Dog and Cat First Aid information, and the emergency section is super handy for any urgent issues that might come up. The pet records I've set up are always at my fingertips, thanks to having them stored on my phone. The vet hospital and hotel finders are excellent resources for pet owners on the go. All in all, I highly recommend downloading this app for anyone who travels with pets.

City the Kitty nonprofit

The Red Cross is using AAHA.org on this Pet First Aid app and AAHA is one of the last big veterinary organizations that allows declawing in their hospitals. The Red Cross has humane options with ethical companies who have banned this barbaric cat cruelty like VCA, Banfield, Petco, Petsmart, Mission vet partners, Ethos, and more. Be better Red Cross and stop using a company like AAHA who puts profits over the welfare of innocent cats. Citythekitty.org
