Car pet emergency info card for the glovebox
A roadside accident with a pet in the car is rare but happens. A small laminated card in the glovebox covers the information first responders need without depending on your phone.

Quick answer: Print and laminate a small card with: pet name, microchip number, owner phone, alternate contact, vet name and phone, and any urgent medical alert. Keep it in the glovebox. Update annually.
Why a paper card
First responders may not access your phone. A small glovebox card is the no-battery, no-signal backup. It also helps a Good Samaritan who picks up your loose pet after a fender-bender.
Six lines that fit
- Pet name
- Microchip number
- Owner phone (or “scan QR tag at collar”)
- Alternate contact
- Vet name and phone
- Urgent medical alert (one line)
How Driyu fits
The Driyu QR tag on the collar is the primary reunion path. The glovebox card is the redundant offline copy.

Frequently asked questions
Should I include my home address?
No. Most safety guidance is to skip the home address — the card can end up with strangers. Phone is enough.
How often should I update it?
Annually, or on any phone/vet/medication change.
Where exactly to keep it?
Glovebox is most common. Some pet owners also clip a copy to the carrier or pet seatbelt harness.
What if my pet is unconscious after a crash?
The card and the QR tag both help. Layered ID = best result.
