Here, I discuss 8 ways to prepare for the death of a beloved pet.

14.01.2022 Terrific article here on compassion fatigue in the context of COVID-19. While the article discusses the implications of COVID-19 on compassion fatigue in those who work in human health, the same principles apply to animal care professionals including veterinary professionals and those who work in animal shelters.

14.01.2022 When a companion animal becomes seriously unwell, pet parents may be faced with the very difficult and heartbreaking decision of whether to euthanase their beloved companion or not.

Below Ive compiled a list of things to think about as you make this very difficult decision.
