Our Story
As with most good pet projects, our story started with our four-legged friend named Kit. This spirited pooch, with a penchant for the unexpected, had a taste for wild escapades.
The list of items Kit has unexpectedly eaten is extremely long and fairly embarrassing for any pet parent to admit. To give you an idea, this 25-lb girl with an eclectic palate had taken down a ham steak, a two-layer cake, ribs and chocolate, amongst an array of other indigestible items! Fortunately, her stomach is strong and her veterinarian is understanding. Unfortunately, there’s no telling what she would get into next.
By the end of 2019, Kit had mastered a collection of Veterinary-approved solutions for her daring endeavors. Identifying a huge gap in the market and fueled by Kit's antics, The Uh-Oh Kit® was born.

Our Team
Dr. Nikki Meredith and Finn
Dr. Meredith is an emergency veterinarian with endless patience. Inspired by a love of animals and the urge to improve humans’ understanding of animal healthcare, a young Nikki carved a path for herself to veterinary medicine more than a decade ago.
She regularly helps people navigate tricky — and sometimes surprisingly common — situations with their pets. She never knows what is going to happen day to day, and she loves her work. However, she believes in the importance of lessening the burden on emergency hospitals. With Puppylation Health and The Uh-Oh Kit, Dr. Meredith hopes to help pet parents better understand their companions’ healthcare.
Samantha Long and Kit
Samantha worked in human healthcare supply chain for the better part of a decade. Not far behind the start of her career was her adoption of Kit, a four-legged companion with a spirited personality. Kit was never particularly interested in Samantha’s data-centric line of work and often employed her sense of curiosity sniffing out trouble.
Kit’s veterinarian has always been helpful, but after a few too many after-hours incidents and emergency calls to Dr. Nikki Meredith, Kit’s unofficial medicine cabinet inspired a movement to better prepare pet parents.
