Elevating End-of-Life Care
Veterinary end-of-life care has evolved into a vital specialty, combining medical expertise with emotional intelligence and compassion.

Now, veterinarians recognize that guiding families through this final stage can profoundly influence their healing and trust in veterinary medicine.
This awareness has created a demand for consistency, training, and standards ensuring patients and families experience care rooted in dignity and compassion.
