Things unfortunately happen to well folks who do try to be safe.
I have provided in my will, and on their emergency contact info, which is on their crates in the car; now I think I need to put that in the home too; who my dogs will go to, and my cat.
Also the executioner of my will of course has this information. We have set aside different bank accounts, for each pup/cat, that are added to, then no more past a certain time.
My main worry was my Russian BRT who was an import. Alas no longer is she a concern as she died 2weeks ago. My 2 male dogs go back to their breeders for either rehome, or to stay in their home. The trust is set up to care for the current owners of the pups, It is set to cover extraordinary expenses, such as operations, high cost medication for such conditions as Alzheimers etc. The trust will cover their euthansia and burial expenses, the balance of the trust to be gifted to a local shelter.
Each breed has a different life expectancy, so Razzle's trust is different to Magic's and to Karma's. Magic might only live another 4yrs or so. Hopefully Karma and Razzle will live 6-10 yrs more.
The folks I have elected to care for my pups, know them well and me well. They know their dietary regime (at least through verbal talks). I've not yet printed out the exact recipes and supplements. Note to self: add this to their crate package.
I maintain a separate health folder for each dog. It contains all their medical history up to the current point in time. As well another folder, with all their championship and pre breeding, health tests et al; their registration documents etc.
