Do You Have a Pet Power of Attorney?

Posted on July 16, 2010 by Danny Meek

Did you know that in the event that you ate unable to provide for the care of your pets, that you can authorize an Agent to act on your behalf.

The Pet Power of Attorney would allow the Agent to take emergency and temporary possession and custody of your pets and spend such amounts of your money as may be necessary for their health, care and welfare.

The Power can also give the Agent the ability to pay for food, veterinary care or insurance, toys and other recreational activities, and temporary boarding and pet-sitting fees.

It can also specify that the Agent makes sure that your pets receive the same standard of care as you would normally provide.

When your emergency has ended, you can simply rescind the Power of Attorney and return to taking personal care of your pet.

It will only be used in an emergency and is for the protection of you and your pets.

If you do not have a Pet Power of Attorney, now is the right time to have one prepared.

See your attorney for the correct assistance and direction.
