Plan it as you once planned for the care of your children if anything were to happen to you. Talk to animal-loving friends and family members. Identify pet rescue farms, adoption networks, and no-kill shelters. Your vet may be able to help.
Allot a generous amount in your will which goes to the organization or individual who takes your pet and which is to be used for their care and feeding--and make it enough for annual veterinary care and food for the rest of the animal's anticipated lifespan, plus several hundred extra for any medical needs as the pet ages. Specify in your will who you want to take your pet, and if they cannot, who's asked next, in the order in which you'd want the requests to be made.
Make sure those close to you know your wishes and that it applies not only if you die but if you cannot care for the animals any longer.
It's good not to have to worry about this.Do you have any tips about planning for your pets should you become ill or pass away?
Absolutely.This is a part of responsible pet guardianship.Thankfully I am involved in animal rescue and my network of friends would be willing to help should I become ill or should God call me Home.
I would suggest becoming friends with someone involved in a no kill rescue group.We are a very compassionate group who put the welfare of the animals first.Do you have any tips about planning for your pets should you become ill or pass away?I know this is a very real issue for those people who live alone and have pets. People should really consider finding caregivers for their pets, "just in case". And we should all be looking at the life expectancy of those pets BEFORE we decide to bring them into our lives. There are some species that can live lives just as long as our own, such as parrots, and it is really unfair to them to be left without provisions being made...good solid ones!
As to my own two cats and one dog--I live in a multigenerational household with my two daughters and their three sons. I am absolutely sure that the animals care would devolve to them if something were to happen to me....We have all of the animals in our lives BECAUSE my daughters rescued them from abandonment on the street, after all!Do you have any tips about planning for your pets should you become ill or pass away?
Hi SG, that's a good question, I've seen evidence of people not planning for their pets after a demise.
I help out at a small but efficiently run pet shelter where we take in pets and sometimes hopefully re-home a few.
It surprises me that so many people make provision for relatives after they're gone but forget that their furry friends need looking after too.Do you have any tips about planning for your pets should you become ill or pass away?I've often thought of what would happen to my "Baby Boy". I have a 10 yr. old cat that I rescued and saved his life when he was a tiny baby and couldn't live much longer without special care. I fed him with an eye dropper in the beginning, kept when clean and warm and he grew to be big and healthy. He has alway lived in the house with me. If something was to happen to me, I have a daughter who would take care of him.
Good question! i used to have rottweillers and pit bulls, but as i have gotten older and they did also, they are gone now i have two chihuahuas one is ten, when he is gone i will be a one small dog woman as to not burden my daughter. i dont think anyone should be burdened with me or my animals.Do you have any tips about planning for your pets should you become ill or pass away?
i had a heart attack and while in the hospital, my ex wife offered to take care of my dogs. several days later, i got a lawyers letter saying that she has taken custody of them since i abandoned them. imagine that...since i was in no condition to take care of them, i guess it was a blessing in disguise.
there is a real need to make provisions. i was caught off guard by my heart attack.
I am nearly 54 my wife is 53 we have a dog (10) and 2 cats (8%26amp;6) these will be our last pets, it would be a terrible thing to outlive your pets especially a dog. Yes my family will take care of my pets if me and the missus were to croak.Do you have any tips about planning for your pets should you become ill or pass away?
after my mother in laws death we took her cat into our home, sadly the cat (charlie) started losing weight and would mope around he was dead within 6 months i think he grieved him self to death so now is the time to find someone just in case so the pet will know them hope this helps
We are lucky enough to have two children that will take our dogs. This has already been discussed with them and they know what to do. Our dogs a very important to us.
My brother takes care of animals that cannot be cared for anymore by a vet, and then he buries it in his garden area.
My children are big animal lovers and I'm sure they would do whats best for the pets.
Yes , I do. My grandson is 12 and he would take her and his parents agree.
Yes, take them to pet adoption center if they are too old I'd pay to have them put down before my death.
My daughter or son will take care of the animals if anything should happen to me or both of us..:)=)
I'll have my pets buried with me, like the Egyptians used to do! lol
