Veterinarians & Animal Care Workers

Veterinarians & Animal Care Workers often choose to work with animals because of their love for them. Every day they are faced with end of life decisions which can be emotionally, mentally & physically draining. When an animal patient dies or is mercifully euthanized, these compassionate healthcare providers are adversely affected. The same hands that nurture & enhance the lives of their animal patients, are the same hands that often end the lives of the suffering.
Veterinarians & staff, yours is a rewarding & at times, heart wrenching profession. We honor you and are appreciative of all that you do. This site was created with you in mind. Please feel free to share with your colleagues & the rest of us your strategies for coping with the grief & loss that you experience on such a regular basis.
