How to Make an Emergency Plan for Your Pets
Who takes over, how they get in, what your pet needs — and the step most plans leave out.
Guides
Practical guides for the things nobody plans for.
Written for pet owners, free to read, and useful whether or not you ever install Woof. Each one answers the question first and mentions the app at the end.
All guides
What Happens to Your Pets If You Can’t Get Home?
How long a pet can wait, what actually reaches a locked home, and how to close that gap.
Who Takes Care of Your Pets If You’re Hospitalized?
Nothing about being admitted reaches your pets. What to arrange, and what to say from the bed.
How a Dead Man’s Switch Can Protect Pets Home Alone
What the idea is, how check-ins work, and the limits worth knowing before you rely on one.
What Information Should You Leave a Pet Sitter?
A complete checklist — feeding, medication, the vet, the chip number, and the quirks only you know.
What Belongs in a Pet Medical Record?
Identity, chip, vaccinations, medications, allergies, weight — and why each one matters.
What to Do When Your Dog Is Missing
The first hour matters most: where to search, who to call, and what to put on a flyer.
Why these exist
Woof is built for one situation: you can’t get home, and an animal is waiting. Most of the advice about that situation is written for a different one — a sick pet, or a will. These guides cover the gap in between, and they say plainly where a plan on paper stops being enough.
