How it works

The NooknRook patch is the front of a magnetic wallet. Responders see the red medical symbol, open the wallet in one motion and find your card inside.

Bright red rubberized patchRed is the color responders scan for, so they can find your medical information on the vest at a glance.

  • Hook and loop back

    It presses onto most service dog vests with a loop panel, right where your other patches go.

  • Built in strap

    If your vest doesn't have a loop panel, the strap clips onto harness handles, D rings and leashes.

Keep the patches your dog already wears. The NooknRook wallet presses onto the same loop panel, so your medical ID sits alongside them where responders look.
