Hospice and Palliative Care for Companion Animals: A Comprehensive Guide

By Amir Shanan, Jessica Pierce, and Tamara Shearer, this thoroughly updated and expanded 2nd edition provides a detailed insight into the world of hospice and palliative care in veterinary medicine.

Compassionate Care for Animals with Life-Limiting Illnesses

Animals with life-limiting illnesses deserve compassionate, thoughtful, end-of-life care. Their caregivers and families, faced with the loss of a beloved companion, deserve empathy, support, and education to guide them through an emotionally wrenching period and provide their companion animals with the highest possible quality of life.

In recent years, the ethics of care and service to sick and dying animals and their caregivers has been the subject of considerable attention. This attention has led to a growing need for comprehensive resources that address the unique needs of both pets and their caregivers.

A Thorough Update to the Only Complete Guide

The expanded second edition incorporates cutting-edge research into animal behavior and cognition to enrich the reader’s understanding of companion animals’ emotional needs and their experience of illness and death.
