How do you hand over pet-care information?

Aldercrest Research is conducting a short product-research study about how pet owners communicate important care information when someone else watches their pets.

Check whether you may be a fit

Submitting the form takes about 2 minutes. Participation is voluntary.

Who we are looking for

Pet owners with real handoff experience

Multiple pets

You care for two or more pets and sometimes need to distinguish their routines.

Medication experience

You currently manage, or recently managed, a medication or supplement routine for a pet.

Outside care

A sitter, friend, family member, boarding provider, or another caregiver sometimes cares for your pets.

You do not need to match every description. We give priority to people with more than one of these experiences. Primary study participants must be 18 or older, currently own or directly care for a pet, have a realistic caregiver handoff, and be able to review a digital prototype.

Before you submit

Please do not include pet medical records, medication names, addresses, or other sensitive details. A general description is enough.

Aldercrest Research will use the information you provide only to evaluate your fit for and coordinate this research study. Your contact information will not be sold. Participation is voluntary, and you may ask us not to contact you again at any time.
