Hello, Patch Pet Lovers!
I downloaded and navigated through this app, which is available for Apple and Android devices… It's a MUST-HAVE for all pet owners, and only costs $.99.
What I found and love about this app… and why I recommend it:
Find out what's happening in Cinnaminsonfor free with the latest updates from Patch.
- Information for dogs and cats are separated into two sections
- Both have an alphabetized table of contents to quickly and easily find information needed
- Each topic contains subsections, details, and easy-to-follow instructions
- Video demonstrations
Other functions:
- Variety of categories such as Toxic Substances, Traveling with Pets, Giving Medication, Pet-friendly Hotels, Emergencies, etc.
- You can add your pets' information to have readily on-hand
- Vet locator to find the closest emergency hospital, but also lists options for different vets in the area
- Quizzes to test your knowledge and keep you informed
- Assistance with Lost Pets
- Many more helpful resources!!!!!
PLEASE NOTE: The purpose of my posting information about this app is NOT a substitute for medical attention when your pet needs care or has an illness and/or emergency requiring treatment by a veterinarian!!!
Empowering you with the tools to seek out information and knowledge to immediately intervene may save your pet's life on the way to receiving emergency treatment.
