ARGOS: Pet Safety Check-In

Your friends and family would help. But would they know your pets need them?

If an emergency kept you from getting home, your pets could be waiting before anyone realized they needed care. Even when family knows something has happened, a nearby friend or neighbour may not.

ARGOS helps you plan for that gap. Set a daily check-in schedule, choose your emergency contacts, and save your pets’ care information. If you miss your check-in deadline, ARGOS sends your chosen contacts a text alert with a link to your emergency information.

HOW ARGOS WORKS
• Make a plan: add your pets, care instructions, and trusted emergency contacts.
• Set your schedule: choose when to check in each day.
• Check in: respond to your reminders to confirm you’re okay.
• Keep others informed: if you miss your deadline, ARGOS texts your emergency contacts so they can check on you and help arrange care for your pets.

CHOOSE PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP
Your emergency contacts can include a friend, family member, neighbour, or another trusted person. Consider including someone nearby who could reach your pets while others make arrangements.

Speak with your contacts beforehand. Make sure they understand their role and know how to access your pets if needed.

KEEP CARE INFORMATION READY
Save your pets’ names, photos, and important care notes, such as feeding routines and medication instructions. Your contacts can access this information through the emergency link included in the alert.

A BACKUP PLAN FOR PET OWNERS
Whether you live alone, live away from family, or simply want another way to keep trusted people informed, ARGOS helps you prepare before your pets need someone to step in.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW
ARGOS responds to missed check-ins. It does not automatically detect accidents or medical emergencies, contact emergency services, or guarantee that a contact will respond or provide pet care.

Reminders depend on your device settings and permissions. Your phone needs an internet connection to send a check-in to the server. Keep your contact details, care information, and subscription up to date.
