I think that is great to ask about. Old or young what is your back up plan if you get sick or incapacitated?

Wylies Mom posted about some planning in your will for your pups. We have done that. Ours is should we expire before our pups, each dog/cat, has an intended person to go to. These people are also aware of this. They are the emergency contact, on our list if we should get into an accident etc.


I wouldn't outright ask for age, but would ask for emergency planning, sick/illness/accidents etc.

Many folks don't and haven't thought about it. So don't dismiss those that haven't. Instead prepare yourself with answers and suggestions as to why this is a good idea.
