The Good Death
October 21 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm CDT
Free
No matter how much we hate to discuss it or face it, end of life comes to all our animals. In this presentation Helen will cover ways to understand and prepare for the loss of our pets, ways to measure quality of life, and ways to encourage and give a good quality of death. Everything from questions to ask the vet, whether to do it at home or away, and understanding and coping with the grief. This widely unspoken topic is incredibly important for all animal guardians to know.
Presented by: Helen St.Pierre, CPDT-KSA, CDBC, CCBC, LFDM, OSCT
