It’s no secret: dogs and cats love food and seem especially interested in whatever they see us eating. For many of us, our pets are family, and that’s why knowing which foods they can and can’t eat is extremely important. According to the ASPCA, both cats and dogs suffer accidental ingestion of harmful things around the home. When they do, nearly 60% of the accidents result in emergency room visits to the vet and the bills can escalate into 1000s of dollars! Keep this magnet posted on your refrigerator to remind yourself of what they can and can’t have, and save him/her from a potentially dangerous situation. You can also gift this magnet to new pet parents so that they are aware of what their new puppy or kitten can and cannot eat. Although sharing small amounts of “human food” on occasion isn’t usually cause for concern, it’s important to note that many foods have the potential to be extremely poisonous for pets. What’s worse is that the effects of food toxicity in animals is not always obvious, which can lead many people to assume that certain foods are okay or safe for their pets when, in fact, they’re anything but. Each full color magnet lists the most common safe and toxic foods for pets along with poison control hotlines should you need to contact poison control in the case of an emergency. If you are unsure if you can feed a food to your pet, always consult your veterinarian first. To keep your pet out of harm’s way, it is best to stick to a diet of food specifically formulated to meet your dog or cat’s nutritional needs. Be prepared. Be protected. At TLC Safety By Design, we’ve created a collection of smart and fun products designed to help keep you and your loved ones (both the 2 and 4-legged variety) safe. I originally started my pet sitting business, Tender Loving Care Pet Care Company in 2014. Since I was a graphic designer for many years, I created a card to give out to clients with my business name and phone number: “My Pets Are Home Alone” Emergency ID cards. My clients loved those cards! They would even ask for extras to give to friends and family! Based on glowing enthusiasm from friends and clients, I was encouraged to start selling them online. Since their beginning, I have expanded my offerings to include plastic cards with key tags, magnets, emergency decals and eventually products for adults and children. When people started buying our products, the responses have been “Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ve never even thought about that. The peace of mind this card provides is priceless!” SAVE PRECIOUS TIME IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY: in addition to 3 animal poison control phone number hotlines, this magnet includes two ample areas to write your veterinarian’s & emergency vet’s name and contact info. For best results, use a SHARPIE ULTRA FINE PERMANENT MARKER when writing your vets’ contact info. If there is an accidental ingestion, you can call a poison control center or notify your veterinarian in seconds instead of wasting precious time trying to find the phone number.

PREMIUM UPGRADES FROM PAST VERSIONS! – Larger Size of 8” X 10.5” includes newly expanded exhaustive list of Toxic & Safe Foods – compiled in conjunction with and approved by a veterinarian.

This print out helps to alleviate the extra stress of having to find a phone number so that you can quickly locate the company or person you need. Great to post on your fridge, near the phone or your door. Great to have for a baby sitter, parent, grandparent, house or pet sitter too! My inspiration was two-fold. As I had previously mentioned, I designed the “Home Alone” cards as a promo to be given to new pet sitting clients. What precipitated that was when a friend was involved in a bad car accident. Unconscious, she was unable to give the EMTs any information, including the fact that her dog was home alone. No one knew that she was in the hospital, let alone that her beloved fur baby had no one to give him food or walk him. Luckily, she was not hurt too bad and was able to give the hospital staff her information the next day. As I pondered this, I thought to myself what would have happened if she were not able to speak for an extended period? That was when inspiration struck. I conceived and created the first version of the “My Pets Are Home Alone” cards. Since then, they have been through a few different incarnations, ending up as the latest version with the plastic card with matching key tag. I am constantly brimming with new ideas - many of them are still in my head, waiting for time and money to develop into viable products. I hope to be able to bring them to fruition for you and your loved ones soon! All of our TLC Safety By Design products are 100% made in the U.S.A.
