PetAlert is an Android app for pet owners that ensures someone checks on their pet at home in case of an emergency.
If you're involved in an accident or otherwise unable to return home, first responders or hospital staff often have no way of knowing that a pet is waiting alone. PetAlert displays a persistent notification on the lock screen that directly informs first responders and provides an emergency contact.
