"Sharon had been gone for three days white water rafting when her cat started to look really sick. I learned later that it was a problem with her kidneys. I had to make what turned out to be an immediate life or death decision about her treatment that I was not prepared for."
The Good Samaritan's Story
"When we found the dog lying injured in the road we rushed her to the veterinarian. We had tried calling the owner's phone number on the collar but we were only able to leave a message. The veterinarian really didn't want to provide treatment without knowing the owners wishes, but in the end he decided to provide urgent treatment and hope that the owners would be in agreement with the treatment and pay the resulting $800 bill."
The Dog Walker's Dilemma
"Jack was on a plane returning from New York when Maggie, his black lab, had problems breathing. I rushed Maggie to the veterinarian worried about any decisions that might be needed about treatment. But I needn't have worried. Using the "Pet Living Will" membership card that Jack had left with me, the veterinarian was quickly able to determine Jack's wishes and provide treatment."
Pet Living Wills is an online registry of a pet's key health care information.
Pet Living Wills helps ensure a pet owner's wishes are followed
should their animal companion fall ill or be injured when in the care of others,
and the pet owner cannot be reached.
