Keeping pets
in your home

If you want to move a pet into your home, 
you just need to fill in our pet ownership form.

Pet Care Request Form

We understand how important pets are, which is why in January 2020 we updated our pet policy, to make it easier for our customers to experience the joy of living with a pet.

Please fill in the form below if:

  1. You want to get a new pet. We aim to accept all pet ownership requests, as long as you adhere to the terms and conditions, listed below.
  2. You already have a pet. We keep details of all pet owners, mainly so that if there is an emergency, we can make sure your pet is looked after by the person of your choosing.

Please be aware that the following dog breeds are banned in the UK, so your request to own them will not be accepted:

  • The Pit Bull Terrier
  • The Japanese Tosa
  • The Dogo Argentino
  • The Fila Brasileiro
