How can I make sure my pets in Portsmouth are looked after if I'm suddenly taken to hospital?
Portsmouth Stray Dog Kennels say they have seen more pets left without care after their owners were suddenly taken into hospital. They recommend an emergency pet care form: write down who can look after your pets and display it in your window or on your fridge, so first responders know there are animals home alone.
