Sunvet’s holistic veterinarian, Dr. Laurel Davis, checks in with your dog or cat during their time of illness to help you understand if they’re ready to make the transition into death.
Traditional veterinary medicine offers diagnostic test results so you can make informed decisions as your friend is slowing down and nearing the end of life. But wouldn’t you prefer to know what your dog or cat wants for him- or herself?
Would you like to more clearly understand your pet’s readiness to pass over? Is it really time to put your dog or cat to sleep, or is he or she ready to recover and see more sunrises to come?
When you’re making end of life decisions, you might wish to book a session, either over the phone or in person at Sunvet Animal Wellness Clinic in Asheville NC. During your appointment, Dr. Laurel can help you ask your animal companion some questions:
- “Do you have any specific nutritional or supplement needs that are not already being addressed?”
- “What do you need from me as your caretaker at this time in your life?”
- “Do you have any unfinished physical, emotional or spiritual business you wish to clear up?”
- “Are you in pain? Do you want any more medical intervention?”
- “Are you ready to go ‘back to spirit’? Immediately or later?”
- “Do you, indeed, want help in leaving your body? Or do you want to transition on your own?”
- “Do you care whether this service is performed at home or at a veterinary office? (specific veterinarian?)”
- “Do you want to be buried or cremated?”
Dr. Laurel’s medical expertise coupled with her intuitive deep listening to your animal friend help you to connect with and understand your dog or cat at this sensitive time. Often, your animal companion is very enthusiastic and direct when they are able to express their needs at this stage in life.
