natural Dog • Evaluation of your pet’s comfort level and advice on possible changes in medication, fluid therapy, nutritional support, appetite stimulation, wound care, or pain management to make your pet more comfortable. • Connections between you and in-home groomers, acupuncturists, laser therapy veterinarians, nutritionists, or oncologists. • Handouts for particular diseases, including disease explanations, stages of progressive decline, and recommended treatments. We all wish for a peaceful, natural passing, but it is not always that simple, fast, or painless. As pet parents, we are responsible for making sure our pets do not suffer—even if that means we have to suffer a little ourselves and make tough decisions. When the time comes for euthanasia, I give medications to relax and calm the pet. This process gives you the opportunity to say goodbye in a calmer state of mind in the peace and privacy of your home. Every being deserves a comfortable end, and having your pet at home allows him or her to enjoy the last days of life in familiar surroundings and in the company of loved ones.
