Life happens
Unexpected situations can leave a pet’s immediate care uncertain. A clear, current plan helps the people you trust know what to do.
If you live alone, the people closest to you may not immediately know that your pet is waiting at home.
Example
A pet owner misses their scheduled check-ins and cannot be reached. Our human-led outreach begins, contacting their chosen people in the order listed in their Pawmize Pet Emergency Plan so someone can check on the pet.
An accident or sudden hospitalization can make it impossible to contact the people who normally help with your pet.
Example
A pet owner is unexpectedly hospitalized and cannot access their phone. After the selected check-in process, their trusted contacts receive the information needed to respond.
A health condition may sometimes prevent you from responding or communicating your pet’s care instructions.
Example
A pet owner experiences a sudden health episode and cannot answer a scheduled check-in. Their current Pawmize Pet Emergency Plan helps the selected contact understand the pet’s immediate needs.
If you pass away unexpectedly, someone still needs to know immediately that your pet is waiting for care.
Example
A pet owner passes away unexpectedly. The Pawmize Pet Emergency Plan identifies the people they selected and provides the current instructions needed to begin caring for the pet.

of shelter surrenders are tied to owner illness, incapacity or death, resulting in pets losing their homes when no plan exists.
Shelter Animals Countpets are surrendered to animal rescues because their owner was hospitalized or passed away.
While some pets are immediately taken in by relatives or friends, others may be left alone at home without care, or placed in a shelter.
Including your pet in a will or estate plan is important, but those instructions may not be found or accessed immediately.
Pawmize provides a clear and current plan for your pet’s care. You select the people you know and trust, or a trusted animal sanctuary, to care for your pet if you can no longer be there.
Your plan gives their caregiver the information needed to continue providing the love, attention, comfort, and care your pet is used to.
