  9. Companion Animal Planning Packet

Companion Animal Planning Packet

Ensure the well-being in the event you can no longer care for them.
Ensure the well-being in the event you can no longer care for them.

Thank you for requesting information from PETA on planning for your animal companions. Our companion animals are an integral part of our lives, and we know that they depend on us completely. So it is crucial to make careful preparations now for their future care—for the time when you are no longer there to care for them yourself.

The planning packet can help guide you as you prepare for the future of your animal companions. The packet contains all the items that you need to help you organize and implement a long-term plan. Each packet item is available for download below.

  • A 12-page detailed booklet
  • An emergency-contact wallet card
  • An emergency-contact card for home
  • An instruction form for emergency caregivers
  • An instruction form for family and friends
  • An emergency window decal

With the help of the above items, you can incorporate important steps into your estate planning to ensure the long-term well-being of your animals and also make their transition to a life without you as stress-free as possible for them.

To request additional information or to request information about leaving a legacy to PETA in your will, e-mail us at [email protected].

Victories for Animals
Victories for Animals

Every year, with the help of generous supporters, PETA is able to secure victories for animals. And every victory is important and celebrated, from the smallest mouse spared a horrific death in a glue trap to the thousands of cows, pigs, chickens, and fish whose lives are saved every time someone goes vegetarian.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
