Can I consider pets as "evidence of family members remaining in your home country whilst you travel"?
I have applied for standard UK visitor visa's for me and my wife and children. I have elderly parents staying behind, but they do not live with me and are not dependants, nor did I list them as such in the application.
We have a dog (for 5 years now) who we consider as family and we have strong emotional ties and attachment to him. He will be in a pet care service for the duration of our visit.
Can I mention my pet as a family member left behind in my cover letter? I can provide documentation of his vaccination records for the last 5 years - it mentions my name and address - as proof that I care for him and look after him.
Can I still mention my parents in my cover letter? Do I need to provide some documentation for them?
Please advise ASAP. Thanks.

Can your pet be a part of your family why or why not?
pet can also be a part of our family. it's not necessary that a member of our family have blood relations with us. family members are those whom we love and care like our own. if we love and can do anything for our pet the way we do for our own, then definitely the pet is also a part of our family.Can pets be family members?
Viewing pets as family members improves our mental and physical health. The majority (77%) of dog and cat owners report that their pet is a family member "just like anyone else" (McConnell et al., 2017). A recently-published paper shows that viewing pets as part of the family has mental and physical health benefits.Are dogs part of the family?
And what the studies show is welcome news for all dog owners: Not only do dogs seem to love us back, they actually see us as their family. It turns out that dogs rely on humans more than they do their own kind for affection, protection and everything in between.Temporary Visa Refusals Pt. 1 | Proof of Ties to Home Country Canada Visa
