Cat carrier emergency luggage-style info card
A carrier label is a quiet form of ID. First responders, animal control, or a neighbor finding a carrier in a disaster need basic information without reaching for a phone.

Pet safety editorial
Quick answer: Seven lines: cat’s name, microchip number, owner phone, alternate contact, vet name and phone, known conditions, urgent allergy. Print, laminate, attach to carrier with a luggage strap.
Seven lines that fit
- Name
- Microchip number
- Owner phone
- Alternate contact
- Vet name and phone
- Conditions (one line)
- Allergies (one line)
What to skip
Home address. Full Social Security or credit card details. Long medical history. A clean short card reads faster.
How Driyu fits
A Driyu QR tag clipped to the carrier handle alongside the laminated card is the layered ID: scan goes to the profile; card is the no-internet fallback.

Frequently asked questions
Should I put my home address?
No. Most safety guidance is to skip the home address — the card can end up with strangers.
Refresh how often?
When any phone, vet, or condition changes. Otherwise annually.
Microchip number visible?
Owner’s call. Most just include it on the card for fast reference.
Is a QR tag on the carrier enough?
QR + laminated card layered is most robust. Card handles the no-internet scenario.
