Pet parents that love the Lifetime Protection Membership

Olie

I live in rural Prattville, Alabama. Ollie was stolen out of my yard in late September 2015. Someone found him on April 24th, 2023, still in Prattville. She took him to the Prattville Human Society. They scanned his microchip number into the system, and 24Petwatch called and texted me. Please have your pet chipped. After 7 long years, I got my baby back. Thank you, 24Petwatch.

Castiel

After escaping from an upstairs bedroom, my cat, Castiel, decided to go on an adventure. With the grand world before him, he attended the neighbor's garage sale.

Thankfully, a kind woman brought him to the local vet clinic. They scanned his chip and tried to contact me. 24Petwatch, also called. Being at work, I did not answer.

They got ahold of my dad (emergency contact), and now Castiel is safe and sound, living his best indoor life.

Sam

We are so thankful Sam was found because of his microchip from 24petwatch! We had given Sam to our elderly dad two Christmases ago after his dog passed. Sam lives on a farm and loves to chase the cows.

He went missing five days ago, and we thought he was gone forever. Thankfully, because of his chip, Sam is back home. He was 8 miles away!

Thank you again.

What is 24PetMedAlert® and how does it work?

With the Lifetime Protection Membership and Lifetime Protection Membership Plus, you receive one year of unlimited access to 24PetMedAlert. This protects your pet by relaying your pet's critical medical information to veterinary care personnel, animal shelters or animal rescue organizations if your pet is lost.

Upon registering your pet for 24PetMedAlert, your pet's critical medical information, as you provided, will be added to your pet's MyPetHealth account. If your pet is lost and you are unable to be reached, 24Petwatch may relay your pet's medical information (including diagnosed medical condition(s), medications prescribed for the condition(s), allergies, and behavioral issues) to veterinary care personnel, animal shelters or animal rescue organizations who find your pet.

This information can be changed any time by submitting an updated form and email to 24PetMedAlert. Please allow five (5) business days for your profile to be updated.

24Petwatch will make best efforts to relay critical medical information to veterinary care personnel, animal shelter or animal rescue organizations who find your pet. However, 24Petwatch is not responsible for ensuring that your pet receives treatment or paying for any treatment or related expenses incurred by the finder. You are exclusively responsible for the cost of all treatments and any other expenses incurred by the veterinary care personnel, animal shelters or animal rescue organizations who find your pet. 24PetMedAlert, 24Petwatch, and any associated brands or entities (Pethealth Services Inc. and Pethealth Services (USA) Ltd.) do not guarantee your pet's treatment by a finder and shall not be responsible for any damages, costs or losses suffered at any time by you, your pet's finder, or your pet.

24PetMedAlert does not constitute veterinary or medical advice for your pet. 24PetMedAlert does not guarantee any medical results or treatment if your pet is lost. Please consult your veterinarian to see if the 24PetMedAlert service suits your pet.

I have a vet. Why would I need whiskerDocs?

What happens in the middle of the night when your pet is sick? What about while you're on vacation with them? You'll need immediate advice to make the best decision for your pet. WhiskerDocs is specifically designed for people who have a vet for their regular pet medical needs during the vet's operating hours.

It bridges the gap between pet parents and their local veterinarians. In less than 30 seconds, you can call or chat with a whiskerDocs veterinary telehealth specialist from wherever you're at, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Does this membership cover both cats and dogs?

Yes, it covers cats and dogs because both pets can get lost. Whether a cat or dog, at 24Petwatch, we care about keeping families and their pets together. We manage the largest North American pet registry database, with 30 million pets. Combine that with a network of over 5,000 shelters, rescues, clinics and partners working together to help care for pets and reunite them if they go missing. It's a couple of the reasons we've reunited over 730,000 lost pets with grateful families.

Do I need this if I have an indoor cat?

We receive hundreds of calls to our Lost Pet call center each day, and many of them are indoor cats that manage to slip out. It's not uncommon. Outdoor cats go in and out all the time, but when indoor cats ever get out, they can find themselves disoriented and lost. That's why membership is critical, especially for indoor cats.

What is the refund policy?

Full refund for cancellation of the Lifetime Protection Membership and Lifetime Protection Membership Plus is available within three (3) months of initial purchase if your pet is deceased or rehomed. You will no longer receive any of the Membership services or benefits if you discontinue your plan.

For 24PetMedAlert when purchased on its own, we can offer: (i) a 50% refund for cancellation of 24PetMedAlert services within six (6) months of initial purchase; or (ii) a full refund for cancellation of 24PetMedAlert within three (3) months of initial purchase if your pet is deceased. You will no longer receive any of 24PetMedAlert services if you discontinue your membership.
