RENO - A new Red Cross Pet First Aid App puts lifesaving information in the hands of dog and cat owners so they can provide emergency care until veterinary assistance is available.
The 99 cent Pet First Aid app gives iPhone and Android smart phone users access to information so they learn how to maintain their pet's health and what to do during emergencies.
Additional topics include burns, car accidents, falls and what to do for cold- and heat-related emergencies.
Other features in the app allow pet owners to:
• Create a pet profile including tag identification number, photos, list of medications and instructions.
• Use the list of early warning signs to learn when to call their veterinarian.
• Use "click-to-call" to contact their veterinarian.
• Find emergency pet care facilities or alternate veterinarians with the "animal hospital locator."
• Locate pet-friendly hotels.
The Pet First Aid App and other Red Cross apps can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross or by going to redcross.org/mobileapps.[[In-content Ad]]
