What is a Pet Directive?

A Pet Directive is a document that outlines all the important details about your pet’s care in case something happens to you. While it doesn't replace the need to legally assign guardianship through your will or trust, it serves as a critical companion document by capturing everything from your pet’s daily routines, dietary needs, and medical history to grooming preferences, personality quirks, and rehoming instructions. Think of it as the ultimate love letter to your pet—giving future caregivers the information they need to provide the same level of care and comfort your pet is used to. Learn more in our article.
