Summary
The end of life stage can be an emotionally fragile time for caregivers but it is also one of the most precious times. As veterinary professionals it is our duty to assist the families through this time with education, support, sound medical decisions, and thoughtful preparations.
By honoring the human-animal bond in everything we do can not only help owners and pets but the entire veterinary team. Developing an End-of-Life program in your clinic including hospice services, quality-of- life consultations and best practices in euthanasia will ensure you are doing everything possible to help caregivers give the best care for their pets.
