Helping Pet Parents Through Heartfelt Endings and Honored Memories

Few moments in veterinary medicine are as emotional as a euthanasia appointment. Families often arrive filled with fear, guilt, or uncertainty, unsure if it is the right time or what to expect. This session explores how veterinarians and their teams can guide pet parents through those emotions with calm confidence and compassion. You will learn how to set expectations, ease common worries, and create an experience that feels gentle, supportive, and personal. We will also look at meaningful ways to help families honor their pets through memorials and remembrance, turning a painful goodbye into a lasting tribute to love and connection.
