I was asked what is needed in these and to whom they should be
provided. Ask your vet. The chances are that teh laws about such
things differ from state to state.
Actually the most important things in permission to treat letters,
no matter what state you're in, will be your name, address, and
(hopefully) a way to contact you, a statement that you are the legal
owner of the animal and are leaving them in the care of so-and-so,
and that so-and-so has your permission to authorize needed medical
care for your animal in the event of a medical emergency. A useful,
but not always required, addition is a statement that acknowledges
that you are willing to be held financially responsible for any
treatment needed.
