Keep Your Pet Safe This Summer — and Every Season

Free emergency resources, expert guidance, and trusted pet care from the professionals who put pet safety first.

Summer is one of the most exciting times of year for pets and their people. It's also one of the most unpredictable. Woofie's is here to help you stay prepared — with the tools, training, and resources every pet owner needs before an emergency happens.

Is Your Pet Protected If the Unexpected Happens?

Fireworks. Extreme heat. Travel disruptions. Natural disasters. These aren't just seasonal inconveniences — they're real risks that can put your pet in danger. And when an emergency strikes suddenly, the people responding may not know anything about your pet.

That's why preparation matters before you need it.

Woofie's — the mobile pet service franchise trusted by families across the country — is marking National Pet Preparedness Month with a commitment to pet safety that goes far beyond the grooming van or the daily dog walk. From free downloadable emergency tools to certified, trained pet care professionals, we're giving pet owners real confidence that their furry family members are covered.

These customizable tools are designed to protect your pet when you can't be there to speak for them.  

Pet Emergency Window Cling

Place this cling on your front door or window so first responders know pets are inside your home. In the event of a fire, flood, or home emergency, this simple tool could save your pet's life. Customize it with the number and type of pets in your household.

Pet Emergency Wallet Card

Keep this card in your wallet, bag, or phone case. If you're ever injured or incapacitated while away from home, this card ensures first responders, neighbors, or emergency contacts know your pet needs care. Add your pet's name, breed, medical needs, and emergency contact information — all in one place.

What Makes Summer Especially Risky for Pets

The warm months bring unique hazards that every pet owner should plan for:

• Heat exhaustion and heatstroke can develop quickly in dogs left in cars, on hot pavement, or without shade and water
• Fireworks and loud events cause anxiety, disorientation, and in many cases — pets running away from home
• Travel and disrupted routines increase the chances of accidents, escapes, and missed medications
• Natural disasters during storm season can separate pets from owners in minutes
• Unfamiliar environments can expose pets to new plants, pests, or animals that pose health risks

The best protection is a plan. And Woofie's wants to help you build one.

How Woofie's Keeps Pet Safety at the Center of Everything

Woofie's isn't just a pet care service. We're a trained, certified, and technology-supported network of pet care professionals who treat your pet's safety as seriously as you do.

Certified Training for Every Team Member

Woofie's recently added Angela Verhine, a Pet Tech®-certified professional with over 8 years of experience in pet business operations and safety, to its Franchise Business Coach Team. Her role focuses on training new franchise owners in CPR, first aid, and a full spectrum of safety protocols — from heat and choking risks to regional environmental hazards.

Every Woofie's professional learns to lead with prevention, spot health concerns early, and communicate critical observations back to pet owners. Because groomers, walkers, and sitters often see things an owner might miss.

AKC S.A.F.E. Certification

Many Woofie's franchise locations and groomers hold the American Kennel Club's Safety, Assurance, Fundamentals, and Education (AKC S.A.F.E.) Certification — a nationally recognized standard for pet safety, sanitation, accident prevention, and disaster preparedness. This includes emergency protocols for pets in care during events like hurricanes and tornadoes.

24/7 Vet Telehealth Access

Through our partnership with Pet Vet Connection, pets in Woofie's care have access to around-the-clock veterinary telehealth. If something doesn't look right, your pet can get professional guidance immediately — without waiting for a clinic to open.

The Woofie's App

Track GPS-monitored walks, read service journals, view photos, and communicate directly with your dog walker or pet sitter — all from the Woofie's app. You're never out of the loop when it comes to your pet's care.

Background-Checked, Professionally Screened Team Members

Every Woofie's team member undergoes comprehensive background checks and screenings. Franchise owners and pet care providers also receive safe driving and Bulli Ray training for responsible animal handling on the go.

What Woofie's Pet Safety Looks Like in Practice

Here's what you can expect when your pet is in Woofie's care:

• Preventative awareness — our team is trained to spot early signs of illness, stress, or environmental risk
• Real-time communication — you're updated throughout every service with photos and notes
• Emergency protocols in place — from heat management to disaster preparedness, our team follows certified safety procedures
• Immediate escalation when needed — telehealth access means your pet is never without guidance in a health situation

"Safety is foundational to Woofie's," says Co-Founder and President Amy Addington. "Our mission is to give pet owners complete confidence that their furry family members are receiving the highest level of care year-round."
