Creating a Bucket List for Your Pet

Creating a Bucket List is a great way to honour your friendship before your pet passes.

Step One

Sit back, relax and find a comfortable place where you can brainstorm. Pick that special spot in your home where you and your pet like to hang out, or head to your favourite outdoor area for some fresh air and ideas.

Step Two

Think of things that are meaningful to you;

• Where is your favourite place to go with your pet? Are you both adventurous or are you more home bodies?

• Refresh your mind with some old photos of you and your pet. Is it possible to relive any of your favourite memories?

Step Three

Think of things you don’t typically allow your pet to do;

• Are they allowed on the couch?

• Are they allowed to partake in pizza night?

• Are they allowed to sleep in bed with you?

Step Four

No item is too small, no item is too large. It is important to have a wide variety of ideas on your list. You shouldn’t place any limitations on your ideas just because they don’t seem possible at this very moment.

Step Five

Create your list.

• Do they like the water? If so, what is their favourite water activity?

• Has your pet ever worn a costume or dressed up for a special occasion?
