Pet Alarm

Pet Alarm is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that provides a highly visible, movable on-screen alert whenever your pet requires attention. Designed for permanent-pet classes and specializations, it helps prevent lost DPS, utility, and survivability caused by missing, passive, or endangered pets.

Why Use Pet Alarm?

Pet Alarm eliminates one of the most common causes of lost performance for pet classes: fighting without realizing your pet is missing, passive, or nearly dead. The addon stays out of the way when everything is working correctly and immediately grabs your attention when action is needed.
