Happy National Dog Day! 🐾
Our pets aren’t “just animals”, they’re family — have you planned their future? Your dog gives you unconditional love every day, so celebrate National Dog Day by making them part of your plan.
Estate planning isn’t just about your assets, it’s about your loved ones, and that includes your fur babies. A complete plan can make sure your dog (as well as any other pet) is protected in two important ways:
Name a temporary or permanent caregiver in your Power of Attorney, so someone you trust can step in immediately if you become ill or incapacitated and there is no gap in their care.
Your Will or Trust can state who will care for them if you pass away and how their needs will be met, so there’s no uncertainty during an already difficult time. You can even set aside funds and detailed instructions through a Pet Trust to make sure your dog continues to receive the love, food, and vet care they deserve.
It’s not something any of us want to imagine, but planning now ensures your pet is always safe, loved, and cared for no matter what. Because peace of mind isn’t just for you — it’s for the ones who love you most, paws and all.
If you haven’t included your pet in your estate plan, today is the perfect time to start. On this National Dog Day, take a moment to protect the one who would never leave your side. ❤️
