Trigger warning: Lots of talk of pet death.
Ok, y'all. It's gonna be heavy today. We’re talking about veterinary hospice and euthanasia. Specifically, we’re talking about a branch of veterinary medicine that helps people make the ends of their beloved pets’ lives as smooth and painless as possible.
My guest is Dr. Amy Myers. She’s a hospice veterinarian with Lap of Love, which provides veterinary hospice care and in-home euthanasia in the Chicagoland area. I actually used Lap of Love when we made the decision to help Chester pass back in June and Dr. Myers was the person who came to the house. So this one’s personal for me.
Like I said, it's going to be heavy. So strap in.
Quick note: Since two weeks from today is a holiday, the pod's taking a short break. We'll be back with a new episode on December 12.
