I had it in my home in NY ...the back door was a glass sliding door so the sticker went right on it from the inside so you could read it from the outside. I believe we had them on every door in the house. I don't have them on my home in Florida, mainly because I hadn't thought much of it since the dog is never really home alone. but she has been left alone before....then again she is not locked up so if anyone opened the door she would run to them unless she was trapped somewhere....but that's alot of what ifs. I think if you leave your animals locked up then you should def have the sign....but if you pets are loose it may not be necessary. Its a good idea for most though. If I see them again I will some.

Thanks for your response. I was just wondering, did you place them at eye level, in the lower corner of the window, or near the door handle?

I only crate my dog at night, since she's older now and can be trusted during the day if I leave for a while. I'm just wondering...does anyone think one of these on the window might also be a deterrent to break-ins?

I have one on our front door. It's a little lower than eye level, (between eye level & the door knob) but noticeable. I definitely think they're a good idea.

I have 3 dogs & 1 cat inside, they have a very safe fenced in back yard to stay in when I'm gone when the weather is nice, but when the weather is bad, they're all inside. 2 of my dogs are "sleepers" & that's exactly what they do while I'm gone, but my beagle sometimes gets into things so he is crated right inside the door when I'm gone. I feel he is safer in a crate... He likes to chew & I wouldn't want him chewing something that could harm him.

Thanks McHudd. I'm considering one for the front door, and then putting one on the window of the room closest to where her crate is, in the back. I figured this would be a good clue as to where she sleeps, just in case she's in her crate with the door closed. Her crate isn't close to any door, and my house spreads out so it could take precious minutes to find her if the need ever arose. I would worry about someone knowing where to find her if she wasn't able to get to the door on her own.

I would make sure wherever you place the sticker it is easy for someone to see. Think about a fire...no one is going to hang around looking at your door. ours was at eye level in the middle of the door...not very attractive but who cares right?

The sticker I have has an area where you can list the pet's favorite hiding places. In an emergency like a fire, rescuers would have some direction on where to look first. Of course their favorite hiding spot might change in a situation like that, but it could help.

Hi Weedy! I kind of hate to ask, but do you remember where you got your sticker or could guide me a little bit as to where to find one like it?

Heya! The sticker must have come with a package of Heartgard, because the logo (along with frontline) is on the sticker. I did a search and couldn't find one on the web :( If I come across something similar, I'll post back.

Check with your local firehall.They may have them or know where to get them,

My Thanks to both of you!

You can get one free from the ASPCA website.
