For generations, veterinary teams have assisted with the deceased pet aftercare of patients to facilitate the needs of pet owners. From memorialization to holding pets for pickup, it’s been a normal business practice to make arrangements, lightening the burden of such things for grieving owners. In today’s growing end-of-life specialties, more attention is being directed towards ensuring arrangements are done in the most informative and ethical manner possible. This module shines light on ideal best practices in pet aftercare, with attention to transparency and aligning with what pet owners themselves have asked for. 1 CE credit offered following the module, reading of a 2021 aftercare study, brief quiz and survey.
