Everything you need to know for life with your four-legged friend

At Buddy & Friends, the well-being of your animal companions always comes first.

That’s why we’re here to support you not only in everyday life, but also with helpful tips and recommendations on caring for your dog or cat, advance care, and making the most of life together. The personal recommendations on this page come from the Buddy & Friends team and are based on our experience and knowledge.

Emergency sign

We recommend placing an emergency pet sign in a clearly visible spot on your front door. In the event of an emergency, such as a fire, first responders will immediately know that one or more pets live in your home and can take this into account during their response.

If you're interested, feel free to get in touch. The emergency sign is available for free at the Buddy & Friends store.

Advance care

Following prior discussion and written confirmation from Michelle Brunner, Buddy & Friends can provide temporary care in an emergency and help find a loving new home for your four-legged companion.

At Zürcher Tierschutz, you can find important information on how to legally document your wishes and inform Buddy & Friends accordingly.

Below, you’ll find information, the advance pet care planning brochure, and additional documents.

Important Information

Michelle Brunner may only be included in your pet care planning documents after a prior personal consultation and written confirmation.

Please then provide Michelle with a copy of the relevant documents so they can be kept on file with her in case of an emergency.

Tracking for your dog or cat

At Buddy & Friends, we personally recommend the Tractive GPS tracker based on our own experience. With this GPS tracker, you can track your dog’s or cat’s location live through the app. You can also set up safe zones and receive a notification if your four-legged friend leaves one.

You’re welcome to stop by and take a look at the different trackers. We’ll be happy to personally explain how they work and help you find the tracker that’s the best fit for your four-legged friend.

Theory course

Are you planning to welcome a dog into your life? Completing a theory course is mandatory. You can conveniently complete the course online and learn about important aspects of dog ownership before your four-legged friend moves in.

We recommend this online theory course (available in german)

When you sign up for the course, please mention “Michelle from Buddy & Friends.”
