If you don’t put your wishes in writing, your pet faces immediate danger – animal shelters receive a steady stream of pets belonging to owners who died suddenly or became too ill to care for their pet properly.
|
Make a Pets Letter of Wishes for each pet.
Name a care-giver and leave special instructions in a document that includes your pet’s photo and reflects your own personalization options.
Provide financially in your Last Will and Testament
Leave funds for your chosen pet care-giver as a thank-you and to help love, care for and feed your pet.
Write a Private Letter
Include details of where to find pet registration papers and medical records – also consider providing information about your pet’s habits, favorite foods, toys, places or friends, as well as needs for sleep and exercise.
You should make written wishes for your pet now if any of these apply to you:
- You live alone
- You have more than one pet
- You’re over 60 or suffering from a chronic illness
- Family members are unwilling, unable or just not the best choice to look after your pet
- Your pet has long life expectancy (parrots 80, tarantulas 30)
- You want to ensure your pet is buried or cremated properly
