Here are four reasons to get going today to create a Pet Protection Legal Care Plan for your pet!

Reason #1     Pets are an important part of our lives.
Most people consider their pets to be members of their family! Current studies estimate that there are roughly 358 million pets in the United States and they reside in 60 percent of our homes.
It has been said that:

• 80% of pet owners brag about their pets to others (especially the elderly)
• 79% allow their pets to sleep in bed with them
• 37% carry photos of their pets in their wallets.

Reason #2     Pets need us to protect and provide for them.
Pets are like family to many of us. Provisions are made for children, family and property but what about our pet companions?

Reason #3     Pets bring us unconditional love and support.
“Our pets, not unlike children, depend on us to provide for them unconditionally throughout their lives and it’s important to provide this care from the moment they join your family until the day they pass away.”  –Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince

Reason #4     Pets deserve our “forever” protection.
Sadly, if a pet owner has not created a Pet Protection Legal Care Plan (Pet Estate Plan) yet, the pet will most likely be euthanized, neglected or abandoned when the owner becomes incapacitated or passes away.
