Let's face it, your furry friends are more than just pets – they're family! But what happens to Fluffy or Fido if your human relationship hits a rough patch? A prenup from First can be your ticket to peace of mind for your four-legged, winged, or finned loved ones.

Why A Prenup Is Good for Your Pet

Pets are Property (But We Know They're More): In most states, pets are technically considered property. Without a prenup, your fur baby could end up being treated like that old couch you're fighting over. With First, you and your partner can preemptively make a plan for your pet’s future in case of divorce.
Avoid a "Ruff" Custody Battle: Perhaps you and your pet were best buds long before you met your partner. Or, maybe your partner introduced you to their pet, and now you can’t imagine life without (either of) them. First allows users to plan for shared schedules or rights of first refusal in case of divorce, to accommodate a variety of situations.
Protect Your Pet's Lifestyle: By protecting your assets, First helps you ensure your pet can maintain their well-deserved lifestyle of treats, toys, and walks, no matter what happens between the humans.
Keep a Purr-fectly Healthy Mindset: Enforceable prenups can provide a much needed measure of certainty during separation and divorce. Knowing your pet's future is secure can provide immense peace of mind during a stressful time.
