Future Paws

Planning today for the dog who depends on you tomorrow.

What happens to my dog if I suddenly cannot care for them?
Future Paws begins with this simple but important question.

Emergency Caregiver

Identify someone you trust who could temporarily or permanently care for your dog if you are unable to do so.

Medical Information

Keep your dog's veterinary details, medicines, vaccinations, medical history and important contacts together and up to date.

Daily Routine

Record food, exercise, sleeping habits, medications, preferences, behaviour and the little things that make your companion feel at home.

Important Contacts

Keep contact details for your veterinarian, emergency clinic, family members and the person responsible for your dog's care.

Identification

Maintain current identification information, photographs, microchip details where applicable and registration records.

Your Wishes

Write down your wishes clearly so that the people who care for your dog understand what matters most to you.
