Why Do I Need An Emergency Power Of Attorney For My Pets?

Posted on October 15, 2010 by Danny Meek

Why have an emergency Power of Attorney prepared in advance for your pets?

Well, in the event that you are unable to provide for the care of your pets, you could authorize an Agent to act on your behalf.


The 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, as well as temporary boarding and pet-sitting fees.


It can also specify that the Agent makes sure that your pets receive the same standard of health, care, and welfare 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.

A win-win situation for all involved.
