It’s likely that we all wish that our beloved pets could live forever. Unfortunately, this is not the case and at some stage we will be faced with the difficulty of losing a pet. This may be due to old age or could be due to a terminal illness.
What’s involved in the euthanasia of a pet? What should one expect? When is the right time to say goodbye? And, how does one deal with the guilt that comes with making the difficult decision to euthanise a pet?
Join Brett the Vet and special guest Dr Courtney Prue from Rest Your Paws as they provide answers to these questions and more.
This episode is the first in a 3-part mini-series on dealing with the last chapter in a pet’s life. It can be a difficult subject to talk about, but the more informed we are, the better we are able to deal with these trying times. Enjoy the conversation!
