📲 How iPupPee Helps in a Fire Emergency

If you’re not home and something goes wrong, iPupPee gives your dog a voice.

With a single push of the button, your dog can send an alert to your phone (and up to 3 emergency contacts). The live camera feed and two-way speaker allow you to see, hear, and even calm your dog—or direct a neighbor or responder to help.

🔥 Example: Your dog gets locked in a room after a power surge. They press iPupPee. You get the alert, check the camera, and take immediate action. That’s life-saving tech.
