Pet Trusts
Did you know that just as you can create a trust for your children, you can establish a trust for your living pets? Well, you can! Texas Property Code § 112.037 authorizes that a trust may be created to provide for the care of an animal alive during the settlor's (the owner’s) lifetime. The trust terminates on the death of the animal or, if the trust is created to provide for the care of more than one animal alive during the settlor's lifetime, on the death of the last surviving animal. The law also provides a distribution schedule for the trust's remaining assets.
A trust is a legal arrangement that provides (1) for the use of your property, (2) for the benefit of a certain beneficiary or beneficiaries, (3) for an intended purpose, (4) for a specific period of time, (5) under terms you choose, and is to be managed by a person or entity you appoint (the trustee). You can set up a pet trust to be effective immediately or upon your death or disability.
Fidos & Felines is proud to be able to offer this very unique and important service for our clients. We work closely with a law firm in order to provide the highest quality work with the best possible results.

Best Ways in Keeping your Pet Healthy
There are many ways in which we help our pets stay happy throughout their lives. Having them as an active part of the family. Providing lots of toys and puzzle treats to keep their mind busy. Giving them the unconditional love they richly deserve. However, one of the most important things we can do to ensure our pets daily happiness is to keep them as healthy as possible. Here are four ways we can do that.
Bi-Annual Vet Exams
Most people take their pets to the veterinarian once a year for an exam and vaccination update. However, it is a great idea to take your pet in for a follow up exam between the annual visits. This allows your vet to check weight, dental/eye/ear health as well as skin condition.
01
Dental Care
Periodontal disease in our pets is real. Dental care is such an important topic and dental disease can affect the overall health of your pet. There are many ways you can care for your dog's teeth at home. 1) The most obvious, BRUSH YOUR DOG's TEETH. Use a soft bristle pet tooth brush as well as toothpaste specifically made for dogs. Do not use products made for people as there can be ingredients toxic to our pets. 2) If you are unable to brush your dogs teeth, use dog tooth wipes. This will not get the teeth as clean as the brush but it is better than nothing. 3) Dog Dental Treats or Chews are a great way to keep your dogs teeth clean and breath fresh. However, the absolute best way to keep your pets teeth and gums healthy is with regular dental cleaning from your vet. Sedation is required and the cost is in the hundreds but your vet can do a much more thorough cleaning as well as extracting any decayed teeth as needed. So even though the costs can be high, it is worth it.
02
Keeping Current on Preventative Care
Keeping up on annual vaccinations is important for the general health of your pet. But, just as important is maintaining the monthly preventative care for heartworms, intestinal parasites, fleas and ticks. There are many medications which you can use to safeguard your pet against these parasites. Some can treat for everything listed above such as: Simparica Trio and Trifexis. There are topical and oral medications as well. Whatever you find works best for your pet, just as long as your pet is kept current.
03
Weight Management
Keeping your pet at a good healthy weight is very important. The burden that obesity has on the body and mind of our pets is no different than on people. Their organ function suffers. The excess weight puts stress on their joints, hips and spine. This can cause severe daily pain and discomfort which most pets are good at hiding. Our pets can also suffer depression and overall anxiety. If your pet is overweight, talk to your vet and please change their diet and daily activity right away. With every pound of excess weight you manage to take off, you will add years to their life.
