Caring for a terminally ill or aging pet is often overwhelming for families—and as veterinarians, we’re in a unique position to ease that emotional load. Join us for a thoughtful and practical discussion on recognizing the signs of caregiver fatigue and helping pet owners navigate this challenging journey with greater peace and support.
- Understand the levels caregiver fatigue that can occur when dealing with an ailing pet
