A Pet Power of Attorney is an important document to make for the protection of your pet. If you were ever unable to make decisions for your pet, for example if you were on a business trip or in the hospital, your Pet Power of Attorney has the authority to make these decisions for you. This is especially important if your pet needs emergency medical treatment and the vet is unable to reach you. Your pet’s caregiver would have your authorization to provide your pet with the best care. You never have to worry that your pet won’t receive the care that they need, no matter the situation. We understand that planning your estate and creating your Pet Power of Attorney can seem like a difficult process, but with Gentreo it is easy and affordable.
