Wills don’t sound very punk, why would I want to do something so formal? Absolutely, mate. Including instructions for the care of your dog in your will is a smart move to ensure your loyal, bonkers companion is looked after just the way you'd want them to be. Here's a bit of guidance on how to go about it:

Choose a caregiver: First things first, you'll want to select someone you trust to care for your dog after you're gone. This could be a family member, friend, or even a trusted pet sitter or rescue organisation. Talk to them to make sure they’re happy with the arrangement.

Specify care instructions: Outline all the important details about your little punk’s care, including their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medical history, and any special requirements they may have. The more detailed you can be, the better.

Provide funds: Caring for a dog can be expensive, so it's a good idea to include provisions in your will to cover the cost of their care. This could include funds for food, veterinary care, grooming, insurance and any other expenses associated with their care.

Name a trustee: Consider appointing a trustee to manage the funds you've set aside for your dog's care. This could be the same person caring for your dog or someone else you trust to handle the financial aspects responsibly.
