If you have pets you really should make a will.
Pets are often treated as one of the family, so shouldn’t we be making provisions for them in our wills, to ensure that they are adequately cared for?  If you were to die without leaving adequate provisions, who would care for them?  Who would pay expensive vets bills, livery costs?  Would your animals be cared for by someone that you disapproved of?  
If you make a will you can specify who you would like to care for your animals if you should predecease them.  Or you could appoint trusted executors to make these decisions on your behalf.
In the absence of a will making provisions for your pets, it will be the executors or administrators of your estate will who decide your pets fortune.  What if you have exotic animals or elderly animals who need medical care or are expensive to keep?  What if you have equines or animals that are time consuming and costly to keep?  This may deter friends or family from offering to provide care, as they may not be in a financial position to provide care.  
If you make a will, you can address these issue and may even wish to leave a trust fund to ensure that your pets financial needs are met.
