US Veterinary Providers End-of-Life Care to Guide Pet Owners in Alleviating Pet Suffering

Reported 8 months ago

A veterinarian in dark blue attire from Public Television News Network on June 18, 2024, at 8:57 am, interacted with a Newfoundland dog named 'Rugby' sitting on a giant pillow and began treatment after the warm greetings. With aging, many senior pets require care, just like humans with chronic illnesses or old age. End-of-life care veterinary providers in the US offer in-home services to assist in medication, pain relief, dietary changes, and teaching simple actions for pets to lessen their discomfort, allowing more time to discuss and make difficult decisions, such as euthanasia when needed, to ensure pets do not suffer needlessly. Various support resources like the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care assist pet owners in understanding euthanasia and providing grief counseling through online platforms, weekly support group meetings, and individual counseling sessions with therapists and animal ministers.
