Hey {{first_name}} Dog Parents 💌,
Most dog parents have a mental checklist of what to do in an emergency.
Grab the kids. Call for help. Get outside. Stay alert.
But here is the part almost nobody talks about.
When something chaotic happens, your dog becomes the most vulnerable member of your family.
They don’t run toward the exit.
They don’t understand alarms or smoke or flashing lights.
They hide. Deep under beds. Behind couches. Inside closets. Anywhere they think danger won’t follow.
And unless someone knows your dog is inside, those hiding places will never be checked.
This is where the Safety Sticker becomes more than a sticker.
It becomes your dog’s voice when you can’t speak for them.
🐾 As you move through today’s newsletter, keep an eye out for the button below so you can grab your Safety Sticker and give your pup the protection they’d never be able to ask for themselves.
🧠 The Hard Truth About Emergencies
Firefighters and paramedics are trained to act fast.
They scan the room for people, electrical hazards, flames, access points.
They work in seconds, not minutes.
If no one tells them a pet is inside, they will not know to search.
And it’s not because they don’t care. Many responders are huge animal lovers.
They simply cannot risk precious time when they have no clue an animal exists in the home.
Your Safety Sticker solves this in one second.
It says clearly:
“My pet is inside. Please save them too.”
Not hidden.
Not implied.
Not forgotten.
A simple signal that changes how a rescue unfolds.
🔥 Dogs React to Fear in Predictable, Heartbreaking Ways
Your dog’s instincts take over in danger. Their world becomes small and panicked.
Dogs often:
• Hide under furniture
• Crawl inside closets or bathrooms
• Retreat to their crate
• Press against walls
• Freeze and shut down from fear
Even the most confident dog can react this way when sirens, smoke, or strangers fill the home.
This is why the sticker matters so much.
It tells first responders to pause, scan deeper, and look in places you wouldn’t even think to check under stress.
It could be the difference between them walking past a room or saving a life.

🔍 What Makes Our Safety Sticker Different
Not all pet alert stickers are made with actual emergencies in mind.
Ours is designed with the input of real firefighters and paramedics who told us exactly what they look for.
This sticker is:
• Waterproof
• Smoke resistant
• High contrast for visibility through haze
• Easy to read from several yards away
• Durable in heat and harsh weather
• Designed to stay put on glass, doors, or crates
Place one where a responder’s eyes naturally go first.
Front entry.
Side windows.
Back doors.
Crate door if your dog sleeps inside one.
Two minutes of effort for years of protection.
One mom wrote us saying a candle fire filled her living room with smoke before she even smelled it.
She raced outside but in the panic forgot her senior dog slept behind the couch.
Firefighters told her later, “We didn’t know a dog was inside. We could have checked faster.”
Another dog dad experienced a carbon monoxide alert.
He was taken to the ambulance and could not speak clearly.
A neighbor shouted, “The dog is inside!”
Only then did responders return to search the home.
Every story has the same ending.
People wished there had been a sticker.
They wished someone knew their dog was family.
🐾 Protect the Ones Who Can’t Call for Help
We’ve partnered with The Pet Safety Coalition to give all our readers this 3-Pack of Emergency Sticker, to be placed on your front door, back door, garage door, and/or a highly visible window.

Waterproof. High-contrast. Designed to save precious seconds.
💬 LET’S REFLECT: What Are You Thankful For Today?
If something happened at 3 AM, would someone know your dog is inside?
If you were rushed to the hospital, would responders know to check the bedroom?
The crate?
The back room where your dog naps?
Safety is love.
Preparation is protection.
That sticker is a promise that you will not leave your dog unspoken for.
