Innovative Emergency Preparedness Kit Creates Action Plan for Pets and Pet Parents

Online, August 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Accidents happen and, whether a pet travels with you or stays at home, emergency situations can greatly impact the well being of our four-legged friends. When important pet information cannot be communicated due to parental impairment, critical pet care may be delayed or suspended. Wag'N Enterprises created the new Wag'N Rover Respond'R® v2.0 Mobile Emergency Information Kit to provide pet parents with all the tools and documents necessary in case of an emergency so that first responders can better assist pet owners and their pets.

"We created Rover Respond'R® because pet parents need an action plan to make sure their pets are taken care of in case an emergency affects their ability to be there for the pet," explained Ines de Pablo, Chief Wag'N Officer and national pet safety expert and advocate. "The new Rover Respond'R® v2.0 kit is specially designed to help keep an unfortunate situation from becoming a devastating one."

This interactive kit assists pet owners in providing EMS, police, as well as fire and rescue responders with important contact and pet information. After filling out the required documentation, pet parents simply place the completed Rover Respond'R® 2.0 kit in the glove box of their vehicle and affix the alert decals that tell first responders about its existence and whereabouts.

The following items are included in the Rover Respond'R® v2.0 kit:
• Mobile Emergency Pocket Folder (document carrier)
• Rover Respond'R® Vehicle Alert Decals
• Two Rover Respond'R® Home Alert Decals to alert first responders of the number of pets in your home.
• Two Wag'N Rover Respond'R® Animal Transport Forms for first responder use during an emergency only.
• A Wag'N Pet Passport® (for a dog) for a pet's medical history, proof of ownership and vaccinations, a photo of the pet and emergency contact numbers.
• A CD-ROM with interactive documentation forms including a Pet Owner Information Form, Emergency Contact Form, Pet Profile Form, printable Emergency Wallet Card, printable Lost Pet Poster and Printable Stolen Pet Poster.

Being prepared for a pet-related medical emergency, accident, or disaster is invaluable-especially when tensions are high. Should a pet be lost or stolen, pet parents can save valuable time by creating the poster templates in advance, complete with current photos of the pet. The new Rover Respond'R® v2.0 kit also makes it easy for pet parents to add new pets and make changes to pet and contact information.

The affordable Wag'N Rover Respond'R® v2.0 kit retails for $19.95 and is available for retail and wholesale distribution. As an introductory offer, the kit includes a Wag'N Pet First Aid Bandana™ that provides pet parents essential pet first aid treatment guidelines for such topics as hypothermia, heat exhaustion, insect and animal bites and more.
