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 will be added to your pet's PetPlace account. If your pet is lost and you are unable to be reached, 24Petwatch by PetPlace 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 by PetPlace will make best efforts to relay critical medical information to veterinary care personnel, animal shelter, or animal rescue organizations who find your pet.

I have a vet. Why would I need whiskerDocs?

The whiskerDocs vet professionals help you avoid unnecessary and expensive visits to the vet or ER. For 68% of the cases opened with them, they’re able to provide no-cost solutions.

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 does! At 24Petwatch by PetPlace our goal is the health, safety, and well-being of both cats and dogs. We manage the largest North American pet registry database, with over 36.7 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. This has helped us reunite over 761,000 lost pets with grateful families.

Do i need this if i have an indoor cat?

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