Rehoming checklist for sellers
At Pets4Homes animal welfare and pet safety is our number one priority. As a responsible seller, please make sure to read through the below checklist before rehoming your pet:
- Arrange a viewing at your home where the buyer can see the pet and review all relevant documentation.
- Ensure the pet meets the age requirements for rehoming.
- Ensure that the pet is in good health by bringing your pet to the vet for a health check. You should also permit the buyer to go with you to a vet for a health check.
- Ensure that you provide the buyer with the right paperwork, for example: vaccination cards, microchip documentation, pedigree documentation (KC, GCCF, TICA, etc.)
