A Pet Power of Attorney or Power of Attorney for Pet Care is a document which enables you to appoint someone to make decisions with regard to your pet and to express your directives as to the nature and cost of that care.

All pet owners can complete a Pet Power of Attorney to make sure that their pets are taken care of in their absence or incapacity.

Your Gentreo Pet Power of Attorney includes designation for your pet’s care when you can not be there yourself. You can assign who will take care of your pet or empower a pet sitter or boarder to get the care a pet needs. Plus you can store pet insurance details in the Gentreo Digital Family Vault, and keep track of your pet’s medicines, favorite foods, treats, walks and more.

You should choose the person that you trust the most who will be able to take care of your pets in your absence or incapacity. Important considerations are the proposed agent’s relationship with your pet, your agent’s availability to care for your pet, and the agent’s willingness to honor your wishes for your pet’s care.

It’s up to you which animals your Pet Power of Attorney covers. Remember that any pets you don’t list won’t be able to be cared for in your absence if they are not covered under the Pet Power of Attorney.

With Gentreo, you can add multiple vets and specify which of your animals are treated by which vet.

Most agents are not privy to the pet owner’s financial information. Without financial limits, your agent could agree to $5,000 surgery and you might not have the budget to afford that bill. Regardless, you would be responsible for that bill, not your agent. Therefore, it is important to set financial limitations if you have budgetary considerations.
