The problem

In an emergency, responders start from zero

A seizure, a collapse or a car accident, and three things go wrong fast.

  • They don't know your medical history

    Your phone is locked or out of reach, so responders start without your conditions, medications or allergies and have to guess.

  • They don't know what your dog is doing

    Pawing, barking or lying across you is your dog doing its job. To a stranger it can look like a dog in the way.

  • Your dog goes to animal control

    Your dog often can't ride in the ambulance, and when nobody on scene knows who to call, animal control takes it.

The fix

Watch the card on your dog's vest answer all three.

What happens in an emergency, from your dog's alert to the ride home

Your dog alerts, and the card tells responders what it means

Pawing or barking can look like a dog in the way. The card tells responders it's an alert, so your dog stays close.

When the ambulance takes you, who takes your dog?

Your dog often can't ride along. With no name to call, animal control is usually who gets the call, and the dog who never leaves your side spends the night in a kennel, with strangers, while you're in the ER.

One handler watched EMTs read her card as she drifted in and out. Knowing her dog was safe, she could focus on breathing.

Our story

Made by a veteran handler and his service dog, Rook

Josh named NooknRook for his service dogs, Nook and Rook. At a fire station drill, responders told him a dog like Rook often can't ride in the ambulance, so animal control gets the call. He built the card they asked for.

Service dog medical ID questions

The ADA doesn't require an ID card, badge or registration for a service dog. NooknRook is a medical ID for you and an emergency plan for your dog. See how the NooknRook ID card works

It's a medical ID card carried on your service dog's vest, with your medical information on the front and your dog's emergency plan on the back.

If your dog can't ride along, responders need someone to take your dog. Your card names that person so it isn't animal control.

Someone your dog knows who lives nearby, like your trainer, a family member or a close friend.

Yes. It presses onto most vests with a loop panel and clips onto harness handles, D rings and leashes.

No. The ADA doesn't require one, and NooknRook isn't a registration.

No. Your card stays inside a closed wallet until someone opens it.
