This updated and expanded second edition is the only ebook that provides a comprehensive guide to hospice and palliative care in veterinary medicine.

Animals that have life-limiting illnesses deserve compassionate and thoughtful end-of-life care. Their caregivers and families, who are faced with the loss of a beloved companion, deserve empathy, support, and education to help them through this emotionally challenging period and provide their companion animals with the best possible quality of life. In recent years, there has been significant attention given to the ethics of caring for sick and dying animals and supporting their caregivers.

It covers the foundations and applications of hospice and palliative care, addressing the needs of pets, caregivers, and veterinary professionals. The book explores fundamental ethical and emotional principles, as well as in-depth discussions of specific illnesses and conditions that limit life expectancy. The second edition incorporates the latest research on animal behavior and cognition, enhancing the reader’s understanding of companion animals’ emotional needs and their experience of illness and death.
