You wake from a deep sleep to the sound of your dog vomiting, or crying in pain. Or you’re having a quiet Sunday night in and your dog has a seizure, or can’t stand up, or doesn’t seem to recognize you.

Nothing is more heart-pounding than realizing that, without warning, your dog has suddenly become ill. You frantically call your trusted veterinarian’s office, but it’s closed, and the recording refers you to an after hours emergency clinic. On the way to the clinic, you realize that this veterinarian won’t know your dog, or have access to his records. And the staff won’t know that your dog takes a little coaxing to get on the scale, or that he doesn’t take treats from strangers.
