\"pet<\/a>Pet Care Power of Attorney<\/h1>\n

A Pet Care Power of Attorney<\/strong> allows a pet owner<\/strong> (principal<\/strong>) to appoint a caregiver<\/strong> as agent<\/strong> or attorney-in-fact<\/strong> to take care of a pet when the owner is not available or not able to provide care due to work, other duties, travel, vacation, illness, injury or incapacity.<\/p>\n

The power of attorney can be limited or broad, covering one or more categories of care including food, shelter, boarding, grooming, exercising, routine and emergency medical care<\/strong> and final disposition<\/strong> if the pet dies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span>U.S. Pet Market Statistics<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the U.S., about 62% of households own pets, with dogs<\/strong> in 37%, cats<\/strong> in 30%, fish<\/strong> in 7%, birds<\/strong> in 3% and horses<\/strong> in 1.6% of households. Many households own multiple pets.<\/p>\n

Households with dogs, cats, and horses average two visits to the veterinarian<\/strong> each year, with annual routine vet expenses of $100 to $200 per year.<\/p>\n

For 2017, U.S. households will spend $69 billion on pets for food $30 billion, veterinarians $17 billion, supplies\/OTC medicine $15 billion, live animal purchases $2 billion and other services $6 billion. The average annual cost of owning a dog<\/strong> is $1100 and $800 for a cat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Types of Care Agreements<\/span><\/h2>\n

Different situations use different types of pet agreements. A power of attorney<\/strong> is often used when a trusted family member or friend will provide care when you are unable to provide care. There is usually no compensation<\/strong> paid, only reimbursement<\/strong> for any expenses paid by the agent<\/strong>. You can estimate the monthly pet expenses and provide the funds in an account.<\/p>\n

See sample Pet Care Power of Attorney, Notarized<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

If there is no family member or friend available to look after your pet, you might hire a paid professional caregiver or pet boarding business and use a pet care agreement<\/strong>. They will likely have their own written agreement. Include provisions for routine and emergency medical care<\/strong> at a vet in case it is needed.<\/p>\n

See sample Pet Care Agreement, Notarized<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Or, you may wish to sell the pet, using a Bill of Sale for Personal Property<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

For estate planning<\/strong>, when you become incapacitated<\/strong> or die, a pet care trust<\/strong> or a pet protection agreement<\/strong> may be used to provide care in your absence.<\/p>\n

It is good practice to use a notary<\/strong> to notarize<\/strong> a power of attorney or agreement. A service provider or document recipient may require a notarized POA.<\/p>\n
