Do You Have Pet Alert Decals?

I know they have "Tot Finder" decals that people can get for free at any firehouse so the firefighters know there are children on the premises. I did not know they had them for pets too. Good idea.

I've seen the window decals but admit I don't have them also have never heard of the cards but what a great idea. I'm going to sign up to get them now - thanks for the tip and link and my dog, cats, fish, goats, chickens, and rabbits thank you too :)

Yep, we have one. I think we got it from Petsmart. Of course, our landlady doesn't know about our cats so the word OTHER is marked and the total number of pets we have is written in.

No I dont but the dogs bark at every thing so think they would hear them but also we try to leave them outside when we are gone just in case!

Hi Pye..actually I didn't know that you could even get that type of thing, thanks for informing us all..I will have a look at the link and will prob get an alert for my 2 dogs..bb littleowl

Thanks so much for the link for the free decal, pyewacket! I have one on the front door, but didn't have one for the back. I just ordered a free decal from the ASPCA through the link you listed! My husband works from home and I'm almost always at home, so there's not much chance that my animals would be left alone should something happen. BUT, there are rare occasions where my husband and I are both out together and I'd rather be safe than sorry! Our pets are family members... family members who can't get out the door by themselves in case of emergency. It's up to us to protect them any way we can. Again, thanks so much!

Thanks for bringing this issue since I did not know that such products exist. A pet alert would sure save a lot of animals lives. Cat/Dogs lives can be saved to a simple sticker on a window somewhere displayed to alert firemen that there are animals inside the house.

Yes I do! It says that there are 3 pets in the house and that they are small dogs.

I had made my own a few years back, before we moved into our new house. I used those Avery self-stick address labels you can get at any office supply place, but after so many years being subjected to heat, the darn things just wouldn't come off the doors and windows without tearing, so though I just ordered one from the ASPCA, I have a piece of paper hung up just about every where imaginable stating how many cats and dogs I have inside. Outside animals not to worried about since they can easily get far enough away that they'd be safe from the flames, if a fire should break out within my home.

I do indeed have pet alert stickers on all 3 of my outside doors as well as a warning about Domingo being he is very leary of strangers coming into his yard let alone his house. I also carry a piece of notebook paper in my wallet listing each pet, the color, name, vet's name/number, and my address along with an emergeny phone number. Problem is, unless he can spot an open window and is allowed free run to it, he will be cowering somewhere in the house if there was a fire and possbily won't be found till too late if we aren't home.

Believe it or not, my present house came pre-equipped with a cat rescue sticker on the front door...

yup,i sure do.it shows the number of cats as well so they know when to stop looking. we've always had one of those on the door.

I sure do!! I have them on both front and back doors as well as the front window. After going through 5 fires in my life and an almost 6th one, I can't be too careful over my fur babies! I'm constantly worried about them when I'm away from home especially during a storm for they get so worked up over the thunder sounds. Like right now, our a/c isn't working and we're in the works of getting the insurance company to pay for it to be repaired and tomorrow I have to sit with my mom while hubby goes with my dad on his appointment for his eyes, I'll be worried about my cats because it'll be hot inside but the windows will be open and knowing they have a kitty door in two of the windows, I'm sure they'll be fine but I'll worry about them nonetheless. I wouldn't be much of a animal lover if I didn't worry.

Hey pye, I just ordered one from the ASPCA. I had one sent to me, but I never stuck it on the door and don't know what I did with it so I ordered another one. This time I will make sure to put it right on the front door. I do worry about something happening and not being here for my babies. They are the most important thing to me and if anything ever happened to them I don't know what I would do. I just can't go through losing any more of my babies. If anything ever did happen to me I don't know who would take them. I have asked two of my friends but neither are really in the position to taken them and I really need to make sure that if necessary they will be taken care of by someone who I trust. I'm going to have to think about it and have someone commit to this and it isn't going to be easy. My girlfriend who got them for me already has 2 cats and she is my first choice.

Yep, I have both alert stickers on my windows to my apartment and a card in my wallet with someone to contact to take care of my pets should something happen to me. My kitties are my children and I want them to be taken care of should any kind of situation arise.

I have or at least had one on the window by the front door. I would need to update it so they know how many cats to look for.

Thank you Pye for a very thoughtful discussion, as I would never of thought to get some type of decals or a card to carry with you, as I'm away at my job for the whole weekend and must leave my three pets home alone, and I just recently had an incident that I will be doing a discussion on, and I was home at the time. Thank you and I will see about getting a decal for my windows.

In 1990 my neighbors house burt down and she lost her dog due to just having a window sticker. I don't know if you will remember the "tot finder" window sticker, but these stickers caused a lot of firefighters to risk their lifes for "nothing". People move away and leave stickers up and mislead them - so stickers are not much help unless the firefighter want to take the risk that it's current. Stickers are just NOTENOUGH INFORMATION for emergency responsers to use properly. Usually they look for pets on their second sweep. But that may be "too late for pets" if they do not have proper information to guide them and can be used quickly. So I created and designed an "information system" with their help and that they approve and work with, called PET ALERT. Please see my blog about house fires on my website under my blogs, it is more detailed. The PET ALERT EMERGENCY INFORMATION SYSYTEM is a COMPLETE emergency information KIT that provides ALL vital information on ALL yore animals, so Firefighters and others can quickly help them. PET ALERT IS MUCH MORE THEN A STICKER. Pet aletrt is easy to use and has been designed with the firefighter protocol. learn more at http://wwwpetalert.com/Pet-Alert-Emergency-Info-System.html Please contact me for any questions? Thank you Camy

I have never even thought of this. Thank you for posting this. I guess I never thought about what would happen if there was a fire and I wasn't home, but we have a doggie door so if there was a fire my dog would be able to get out of the house, but still...
