Description
Live Webinar: Tuesday, December 2, Noon – 1 pm
Much of the focus in our training and daily practice is on preventative health and acute care. But, although death is inevitable, life doesn’t come with an expiration date, and it’s part of our responsibility to raise awareness of end-of-life care. We should not only promote a good quality of life but also a good quality of death. This session will highlight some aspects of end-of-life care that can enhance your practice and your client/patient’s experience during the twilight of the pet’s life. Topics covered include an introduction to senior care, palliative/hospice care, pre-euthanasia preparation, and changing the euthanasia experience.
