We love our pets just like part of the family. We take them to the vet, we play with them, we feed them and just love on them constantly. Why is it then that we don\'t plan for them as if they were part of the family? It is important to have someone in place who will step in and immediately care for your pet when you can\'t. These situations include your incapacity, your death or even if you can\'t make it back from a business trip within the time you alloted. It is about having control and making the best possible transition for your pet.
