How to run it

Three steps before drop-off

1. Pick the ER before you need it

   Drive the route from home in Chicago once.

2. Print a card and keep a digital twin

   Phones die. Paper gets lost. Use both.

3. Update meds when they change

   A stale card is a dangerous card.

4. Brief sitters and roommates

   A sitter handoff in Chicago should include the same ER card and QR.

5. Name the file like a human

   Use dates and the pet name, not IMG_4421. A Chicago desk will not sort your camera roll.

6. Test the link offline

   Open the packet on airplane mode once. If it fails in your kitchen, it will fail in their lobby.
