What kind of stuff does the jacket allow the pet to carry?  A whole bunch of useful stuff…for your pet (you’ll have to ask permission with Fluffy to share their water).

While a lot of these items make sense some of them make you raise an eye.  Aroma oil?  What’s the point of that?  According to their website (it’s in Japanese) and from what google translate tells me the point of the oil is to help your dog or cat relax when they are stressed.  More assuming is to include the google translation:

This “rescue remedy” is to soothe the feelings of panic and became a disaster, is dedicated aroma oil.  You can also use in humans.  Shaking like a cat owner would love comes through to the dog.

While I’m happy to report that I haven’t shook like a cat since that time I got lost at Toy’s R Us, but the next time I have to speak in public I’ll be sure to take a few shots of this aroma oil to help ease the panic.

I thought Pet Emergency Jacket was kind of cool at first, but then when I really started thinking about it I did have some issues with it

• Why do pets get fireproof clothing before us humans?  I mean how many of you have a fireproof jacket?
• In a real emergency wouldn’t you just grab your pet and run?  Why would you take the time to strap in your pet (who most likely will struggle with you to get this jacket on) when it might just be smarter to flee the danger…
• I like the fact that you can turn your cat into a mule, but really how much can they carry?  And then all the stuff is for them, what about us humans?
• You probably will stress your pet out more forcing them to wear this (especially if Fluffy isn’t used to beast of burden tasks) on top of the stress already brought on by the emergency

This sideways video should give you some idea how much pet’s love their new Pet Emergency Evacuation Jacket.

The dog in the video looks so ashamed and embarrassed.  That could be your pet too!

I’ll end this post with a of various photos of animals donning of this glorious invention.

The emergency jacket also allows you to travel at warp speed

The key takeaway from this product is that Japanese people really love their animals….apparently more so than themselves.
