What is euthanasia, and why should it be considered by a pet owner? How would you counsel someone
who is dealing with the loss of a pet?
Euthanasia is to induce the death of an animal quickly and painlessly, putting it to sleep. Euthanasia may be
the kindest thing you can do for a pet that is severely sick or injured.
Grieving over the loss of a pet is natural and common. When people are mourning the loss of a pet, they
should be allowed to express their feelings.
