Why People Delay Creating a Pet Protection Plan —And Why It's a Bad Idea

Many pet owners put off creating a pet Protection Plan for various reasons, but delaying this important step can have serious consequences for your pet’s future. Here are some common reasons for delaying and why they aren’t valid excuses.

Reason 1: “I’m Healthy, So I Don’t Need One Yet”

You may think that since you’re healthy, there’s no rush to create a pet protection plan. However, life is unpredictable. Accidents or sudden illness can happen at any time, and your pet’s future shouldn’t be left to chance.

Reason 2: “It Seems Complicated”

Creating a will might seem overwhelming, but with PetNPrep the process is simple and straightforward. In less than 20 minutes, you can create a legally binding document that protects your pet’s future

Reason 3: “I Don’t Have Time Right Now”

Taking 20 minutes to create a pet will ensures your pet is protected for life. Putting it off could result in your pet ending up in a shelter or with a caretaker who isn’t prepared for their needs.
