Pet Custody
At Blanchards Law, we are all animal lovers so we understand how heart-breaking losing a beloved pet can be. We regularly come across pet custody disputes when relationships break down. These are usually about a family dog or cat, but sometimes it involves more exotic animals such as tortoises!

Can we help you?

Please call us on 0333 344 6302 or contact us through our enquiry form. We charge £100+VAT for an initial consultation directly with our legal team.
We deal with pets in the context of family relationships, but we also deal directly with breeders, vets, rescue centres, and petlog amongst other things pet custody related.
What our clients say about us...
“I would like to thank the team at Blanchards for securing the swift return of my dog Remy. They were professional and kept me in the loop, and couldn’t have done anything more to help me in my matter. Also thank you to Claudia for her investigative work to retrieve vital information to my case, writing a letter of claim and communicating between both parties.”
