I am a pet owner. I take good care of my pets, especially if we're traveling. I make sure they are properly restrained and secure in the car. After all, they are part of my family. One day, a house in my neighborhood burned down, and the family dog died in that fire, because the firefighters did not know there was an animal in the house. The homeowners were at work at the time, and none of the neighbors were home either. This incident got me thinking, I went to a friend of mine who is a firefighter and asked him what would have saved this dog. He told me that if there had been a sign on the door indicating that a pet was in the house, like the one he has on his own house, then the dog might have been saved.
This sign is one of the newest pet safety products designed to be used in case of an emergency. One of the biggest complaints of firefighters and rescue workers is that they have no way to know if a house has a pet inside.
It is designed to be displayed on the front door of a home.
Most firefighters I have spoken to say that when they enter a home during a fire, they almost always go through the front door, and if one of these signs is on that door, they will look for a cat or dog, otherwise, they only look for people.An important point that I noted was, that one of the reasons why so many dogs and cats were lost during hurricane Katrina is because rescue workers did not know that there was a dog or cat in the house.
We spend so much money on pet safety products, for example car harnesses, gates, ramps etc. Fire is a real threat, isn't it worth it to ensure that in case of an emergency, you pet has a chance to survive.
It is a 2in X 4in aluminum plate with a white background. It comes with double backed tape for easy mounting to most surfaces.
This sign is one pet safety solution that doesn't cost much, but is invaluable to the safety of your pet.
