You care for a pet
Having a pet is not only caring for its daily needs - it is also a legal and organisational responsibility.
One expression of this care is order in the documents that confirm ownership, secure medical care and make it possible to act in emergencies. In many ways, life with an animal requires the same formal confirmations as other areas of our life.
From the expert
„In the legal sense, animals are things. But of course no one treats them that way. For many of us they are family members, and the documents related to them are just as important as the documents of any other household member."
