PetPact® for Vets
🐾 When a Microchip Isn't Enough – What Vets Need to Know
🩺 Protecting Pets, Supporting Vets – The PetPact® Advantage
As a veterinary professional, your role goes beyond clinical care – you're often a trusted advisor helping clients do the best for their beloved companions.
PetPact® is a simple planning tool that allows pet owners to clearly set out who should care for their pet if the unexpected happens. It gives owners peace of mind, and gives veterinary teams a clear written record to work from.
⚠️ Why Microchips Aren't Enough
Many clients believe a microchip proves ownership – but under UK law, microchip registration identifies only the 'keeper', not the legal owner.
This can cause confusion or even conflict during:
💔 Relationship breakdowns
🤒 Owner illness or incapacity
💚 Bereavement
In these moments, vets may be left in awkward or uncertain situations, with no clear record of what the owner would have wanted.
✅ How PetPact® Helps
PetPact® records the owner's written wishes, setting out:
🐾 Who the owner has chosen as their pet's guardian
🐾 Who should assume care in an emergency
🐾 What arrangements co-owners have agreed between themselves
🐾 The owner's expectations for future care and wellbeing
🐶 Why Vets Recommend PetPact®
✔️ Reduce uncertainty – A PetPact records the owner's wishes and their chosen guardian's agreement in writing, so there's a clear starting point when someone new arrives with a pet.
✔️ Fewer difficult conversations – When wishes are written down and the guardian has already agreed, families have something to refer to rather than something to argue about.
✔️ Strengthen client loyalty – Show your clinic is proactive, compassionate, and committed to complete pet care.
✔️ Add value to your service – Include PetPact® in welcome packs or suggest it during check-ups – a small step with meaningful impact.
