The Pet Doctor - Episode 304 Preparing for and Recovering from the Loss of a Pet

Author: Pet Life Radio August 3, 2020 Duration: 32:05
I have a very good friend who has been the pet parent for 7 Australian shepherds and 2 cats since I have known her. The care and love that she has bestowed on all of them has been touching to observe and it has always been a pleasure to assist her in keeping her kids healthy. When the time came to let each leave her side, I have watched her go through agonizing pain. Each time she has moved forward but the pace has been slower and slower and her pain has become debilitating.
