When Is It Time To Say Goodbye? - December 2024

Friends of the Riney Canine Health Center,

This is Dr. Aly Cohen, one of the veterinarians from the Riney Canine Health Center. This month, I wanted to talk to you about a much more personal, and often difficult topic. Which is how to really know when it's the right time to decide to euthanize a pet. Now, this is undoubtedly one of the most difficult decisions we as pet guardians face. The whole process of watching our pet decline over time is truly gut wrenching, and it can bring up a lot of difficult emotions that everyone deals with and processes differently. Click below to watch this month's video blog for more on pet euthanasia.

If you're going through a difficult time right now, or you have been through one in the past, I'm thinking of you all and sending all the compassion and support from the Riney Canine Health Center. Thanks for watching, and we look forward to catching up with you next month. 

Dr. Aly Cohen, D.V.M.
