When the vet asks what he's allergic to
It's 9pm at the emergency clinic, your dog is shaking, and someone hands you a clipboard asking for vaccination dates, medications, and the microchip number.
Every pet owner eventually has the same night. Something is wrong, the regular vet is closed, and you're driving to the emergency clinic doing math in your head about when the last rabies shot was.
Then you get there, and the intake form wants specifics. Current medications and doses. Vaccination history. Known allergies. Chronic conditions. Microchip number. Previous surgeries. Insurance policy, if there is one.
You know some of it. You half-remember the rest. And the honest truth is that the answers you guess at are the ones a vet will use to decide what to put in your animal.
The information exists. It's just in four places at once.
The vaccination record is a card in a kitchen drawer, or a PDF the clinic emailed you in 2024. The microchip number is on a registration you filled out the week you adopted him. The medication name is on a bottle in the bathroom. The insurance policy is in an inbox somewhere under a subject line you'd never search for.
None of it is lost. All of it is unreachable at 9pm with one hand on a leash.
In an emergency you don't need more records. You need one place that answers questions.
What the Pet Vault holds
You drop in whatever you already have — photos of the vaccination card, the adoption paperwork, the microchip registration, prescription labels, the insurance policy, boarding and grooming records, the breeder or rescue contract. We read each one and pull out the dates, drug names, numbers, and clinics. You don't sort anything.
Then you ask, in plain English, and get the answer with the document attached:
- “When is Cooper's rabies booster due?”
- “What's his microchip number?”
- “What dose of apoquel is he on?”
- “Is the pet insurance still active, and what's the policy number?”
And the part that prevents the emergency
Boosters, heartworm refills, flea and tick renewals, annual exams — they all have dates, and dates are exactly what a busy household drops. When one is coming, we count you down: an email at 30 days, 7 days, 1 day, and the morning of, plus a notification in the app.
Two dogs, a cat, and a horse can all live in the same vault. Anyone you share access with — a partner, a sitter, the family member watching the house — can pull the same answers without calling you.
The Pet Vault is $29/yr on top of any AskMyHome membership, prorated so everything renews on one date.
Once you're inside, you can also earn this vault — or any vault — free for a year every time a friend joins with your referral link. Refer again and it keeps going, year after year.

The will exists. The policy exists. The deed exists. What's missing is the map — and the people who need it are grieving when they go looking.
Manufacturers don't remind you. Retailers don't remind you. Most expired coverage isn't used up — it's simply forgotten, and it costs the average household hundreds a year.
