Pets play a big part in our family lives. Each pet has their own personality, needs and routine. Would someone else be able to quickly take over the care of your pet if you were no longer here or unable to look after them? Consider who would you want to care for your pets when you are gone and let them know your wishes in advance.
Losing an owner can be very stressful for pets. By planning ahead, you can make arrangements so that the transition to their new life will be as smooth as possible. By knowing that they will be going to a good home if something were to happen to you, can help give you peace of mind.
Make sure that your pets new carers will know how to care for your pets, including their daily routines and where they can locate practical information if needed.
Consider the following:
If you do not have anyone to pass ownership on to, look in to local rescue organisations that can assist with re-homing your pets. Many charities will be able to guide you through the process and how to record this information. It is important that people know your wishes around your pets.
