Managing Pain in Pets
Imagine feeling ill and not being able to properly express it. The language barrier causes many pets to feel this way toward their owners. It is important to know the signs indicative of pain in your pet so that you can help them with their treatment, even if they can't help identify their pain.
Things to consider when putting pets into your will
It's common to not only specify whom you're leaving your pets to but also to leave some money - specific amounts or a percentage of the estate - for the animals' care. (The cost of caring for a dog over a 10-year period is estimated to be about $15,000; for a cat, $10,000.) If you set up a trust, the trustee would distribute your money to the person you've selected as the pets - guardian or manager.
