The Pet Doctor - Episode 284 The Gentle Farewell… Hospice Care for Pets

Author: Pet Life Radio August 2, 2019 Duration: 38:07
I have said goodbye to my mother and father after they were diagnosed with cancer. My parents and family were grateful for the attempts of doctors to extend their lives as long as possible because no one ever wants to say goodbye to someone they love. Sadly, their joie de vivre as a result of treatments and disease progression was severely impacted.

The cultures of veterinary medicine and human medicine diverge greatly when it comes to the matter of a gentle, dignified passing of life. How you deal with this issue with your pet is a very individual decision. My hope with this podcast is for you to know your options… and make decisions that are the most appropriate for you and your pet family member. My guest is a dear friend and colleague, Co-Founder and CEO of Lap of Love along with being a co-host of PetCareTV, Dr. Dani McVety.
