WIRRAL dog owners are being urged to make provisions for the care of their four-legged friends should they become seriously ill or pass away.
New research from Dogs Trust suggests that 67% of owners in North West England have not made any plans, 61% think a loved one will take care of their pet without asking and 6% do not know anyone who can help.
The charity is urging dog owners to sign up to their free Canine Care Card service to ensure that they can be on hand to support the rehoming of their much-loved pet, if the worst were to happen.
Supporter relations officer at Dogs Trust Merseyside, Aimee Best said: “Recent world events have shown that we never know what is around the corner and that life can be unpredictable.
“As a nation of dog lovers, we know the little quirks that make our dogs unique and I for one enjoy having the peace of mind that if the time ever comes when I can’t be with my dog, Dogs Trust is the next best place for them to be, and they will never put a healthy dog down.”
The warning comes as the charity launches a new TV advert this…
