“Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what was the most difficult part of his job.

The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep. The fact is that 90 % of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so that they don't see their pet leave. But they don't realize that it's in these last moments of life that their pet needs them most.

Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end. ′′It's inevitable that they die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of their life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don't leave them.

Dont let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they dont like. It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owner during the last minutes of their life. They dont understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner’s consolation.

Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared, but they are completely strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their sake. Be with them until the end.”

Every cat has their own “normal”. Get to know the 4 key areas of cat behavior called the Feline 4:

1. Your cats eating and drinking habits can tell you a lot. You should have a sense of how much food & water your cat consumes on a daily basis, including treats.

2. Try to monitor your cats bathroom habits. Take notice of how much urine & still your cat produces each day. Before cleaning the litter box, pay attention to things like color, shape, & consistency.

3. It’s good to observe how your cat engages in their own set of daily activities, from playtime to grooming, birdwatching, & beyond.

4. Over time, you’ll come to know where your feline friend prefers to nap, rest, & sleep. Tracking and noticing of these spots chance can help you sense of your cat is hiding a health problem.

National Shelter Appreciation Week 2020 ended with a shelter dog headed to the White House!

For the first time in years, there will be pets in the White House again: Champ and Major, two beautiful German Shepherds.

The family adopted Major from our national shelter partner, the Delaware Humane Association, after seeing a post about a litter of German Shepherd puppies being surrendered in critical medical condition.

“We are so happy to welcome Major to the Biden family, and we are grateful to the Delaware Humane Association for their work in finding forever homes for Major and countless other animals,” the Bidens said in a statement at the time.
