Is It Safe to Give Your Pet an Antihistamine?
18th Apr 2023
August is National Make-A-Will Month and there’s no better time to explore how to leave a legacy for a cause that is meaningful to you. Including the Petcity in your estate plan is a great way to support animals nationwide. It costs nothing now but will provide crucial support to animals in need in the future.
While it can be intimidating to start thinking about estate planning, making a simple will through an attorney or even an online service can give you peace of mind that your loved ones and the causes you care about are taken care of.
Another way to include the Petcity in your estate plan, without a lawyer, is to name the Petcity as a beneficiary on a retirement plan, bank or investment account, or life insurance policy. You retain complete ownership of your accounts to spend during your later years, with any leftover funds going to the Petcity.
Don’t forget about your pets!
Getting Started
- Step 1: Carry a Pet Alert Card in your wallet.
- Step 2: Place an Emergency Contact Sheet
- Step 3: Create a Pet Portfolio for each pet in your care.
Even if your pool is covered, pool covers themselves can be a safety hazard if your pet falls in and slips beneath the cover.

To further protect your pets, you could consider using pool alarms or pool turtles (a device that the pet wears on the collar that sounds an alarm when it gets wet) to protect your pet and alert you if they are in trouble.
Paragraph Text
While making an estate plan is important so you can have control over where you want your assets to go, it’s also helpful to consider making a plan for your pets in case something were to happen to you.
