The First Watch

Know what to do before something happens. Walk through your home at your dog’s level, save the details you’ll need in an emergency, and rehearse the first call to the vet.

• Dog Safety Guide (12 pages). Spot food and household hazards, recognise emergency warning signs, and use a worked poisoning-call example, first-aid kit checklist and five-minute household drill.
• Emergency Contact Card (1 page). Fill in clinic numbers and key health details, then save a screenshot to share with anyone caring for your dog.
• First 30 Days Companion (3 pages). Use the fillable checklist, household care plan and weekly observation log as your new dog settles in.

Format. Three English-language PDFs. Print for personal use or fill in the worksheets in a compatible PDF reader.
