Continuing Care

If you’re like us, your pets are family. And one of the hardest things to think about is what might happen to them if they outlive you. That’s why we created Continuing Care, a free benefit exclusive to our Guardian Circle members that helps ensure your pets will be safe, loved, and cared for if you’re no longer here.

You tell us all about them: their routines, medical needs, favorite things, and funny little quirks. And if they ever need us, HSHV will be here to care for and find them loving new homes.

Ready to make a plan?

It may be easier than you think.

HSHV partners with FreeWill to offer a free, easy-to-use tool to create or update your will. There’s no cost and no obligation to include HSHV.

Already included HSHV in your plans? Please let us know. We’d love to thank you and welcome you to the Guardian Circle.
