-
Carefully choose a guardian for your pet and discuss your plans with them. It should be someone that you trust, that your pet likes and that you know will be willing and able to take in your pet if they needed to.
-
Create a Pet Trust to provide your pet’s guardian with money for your pet’s future expenses. This can be especially important if your pet is on medication or is required to visit the veterinarian regularly for health issues. You can also provide in your Trust that your pet’s guardian receive compensation for taking care of your pet. Visit our Attorney Directory to find an attorney near you, who can assist you in starting your plan today.
-
Carry a card in your wallet that alerts emergency responders that you have pets at home that need to be taken care of in an emergency with contact information for your pet’s guardian.
-
Keep a complete record of all important information about your pet in a place that is easy to find. That way if someone needs to come into your home to care for your pet, everything that they need to know is easily accessible.
