How to ensure my dog is fed if I’m in the hospital?

No one expects to be away from their dog unexpectedly. Most pet owners make sure their dogs are fed and taken outside before leaving for work in the morning, and they plan to return home at a consistent time to feed and walk their pets. However, emergencies can happen, and you might suddenly need to go to the hospital. In these situations, who will take care of your dog’s needs?

Challenges for Dog Owners During Emergencies

If you do not have family members at home who can look after your dog, or if you live alone and help is too far away, it can be difficult to ensure your pet is cared for. This challenge is even greater if you have recently moved to a new town and do not know anyone who can help. In these cases, it is important to have a plan in place for your dog’s well-being.

The Role of KeepStellaSafe’s Pet Guardians

This is where KeepStellaSafe’s Pet Guardians can assist. If you experience an unexpected emergency and are hospitalized, the Pet Guardians can be contacted to become your pet’s temporary guardian. They will reach out to your regular sitter, who can promptly go to your home to walk and feed your dog. The service will also provide instructions to your sitter regarding how much and what to feed your dog while you are away.

Short-Term and Long-Term Solutions

Ideally, your hospital visit will be brief, and you will soon return home to your dog. If your absence extends beyond a short-term emergency, KeepStellaSafe’s Pet Guardians will continue to coordinate care and make necessary arrangements for your dog until you are able to return.
