The loss of a pet can be a highly emotional, stressful and sometimes traumatic experience for any pet owner and as a veterinary professional, whether a surgeon, nurse or receptionist, you are at the forefront of dealing with people on a regular basis as they go through some very difficult times.
Often we hear questions from professionals in practice such as “what do I say?†or “what should I do?†when faced with those grieving the loss of their beloved pet. This course will help you approach those difficult situations in a sensitive and constructive way.
Who is it for?
This event is for Veterinary Surgeons and Veterinary Nurses
