Every year, pets are separated from their families during emergencies — not because their owners didn't love them, but because they weren't prepared. The Companion Animal Emergency Notebook was created to change that.
Be Prepared. Stay Organized. Keep Your Pets Close.
Emergencies don't wait for a convenient moment. A wildfire, flood, severe storm, or unexpected illness can happen with little warning — and when it does, preparation completed ahead of time can make a meaningful difference.
The Companion Animal Emergency Notebook is built around one individual pet while also helping the pet owner prepare for household emergencies. It brings that pet's medical records, identification, medications, feeding instructions, photographs, routines, and care information together with household evacuation planning, emergency preparation, safety awareness, and first-aid references — all in one sturdy, easy-to-reach binder.

Why I Created This Notebook
Emergencies and unexpected life events often happen with little warning. I created this Notebook to help pet owners organize important information, think through critical decisions ahead of time, and approach unexpected situations with greater confidence.
Who Is This For?
If you have a pet and want to be ready before an emergency happens — this is for you. Whether you're a dog owner, cat owner, pet sitter, senior, or family with multiple animals, the Notebook is designed to work for any household. (Note: one standard Notebook is built around one individual pet. Additional Individual Pet Packs are available separately for households with more than one pet.)
Part of a Bigger Mission: Keeping Pets Home
Every year, pets become separated from their families or enter shelters because of emergencies, financial hardships, illness, or other unexpected life events that catch owners unprepared. The mission of It's DogGone Awesome is to help pet owners and their pets remain together throughout their lives. If the pet owner is prepared, the chances of the pet remaining with that owner are much greater.
