PET CARE CHECK

Does Your Pet Have a Care Plan?

Pets are family. These simple questions can help make sure their care continues smoothly when life or care needs change.

Choose the answer that best fits your situation today.

First...

What kind of pet are you planning for?

EVERYDAY CARE
1

Are all of your pet’s everyday needs, such as feeding, walks or bathroom breaks, medications and cleanup, being met consistently?

2

If caring for your pet becomes difficult or overwhelming, do you have someone you can ask for help?

BACKUP CARE
3

If you were unexpectedly hospitalized or unable to care for your pet today, is there someone who could step in and care for your pet right away?

4

Could that person get into your home and find everything needed to care for your pet without your help?

5

Would that person have the information they need to care for your pet safely, including routines, medications, veterinarian information and important health or behavior needs?

6

Do you have a second option if your first-choice caregiver isn’t available?

IF THINGS CHANGE
7

If you needed to be away from home for several days or weeks, do you know where your pet would stay or who would provide their care?

8

If a longer-term change made it difficult for you to care for your pet, do you know who you would turn to for help making a plan?
