What a wonderful post! I completely agree, that's the hardest part of being in the veterinary field.

“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.”

This study's results have been long time coming. I hope to provide supporting and future specific research to this cause. It seeks to find best practices in training our companion and other 'co-earth-habitating' animals. Searching for the most effective way to communicate and cohabitate with the other animals on our planet. 🤓🌍🌎🌏

Any thoughts??

Your dog may be the apple of your eye, but let's be honest: she is an animal, with her own instincts and idiosyncrasies, and there are going to be times when she makes you want to tear your hair out.

Survival of the "Friendliest"! Here's a really fun study that found a correlation between certain genetic changes that make dogs like us! Surprise it's the same type of things that makes us like them ;-)

Scientists have identified genetic changes that are linked to dogs' human-directed social behaviors and suggest there is a common underlying genetic basis for hyper-social behavior in both dogs and humans.

I stumbled upon this thought provoking article on the science of whether animals enjoy music. I play calming music frequently for the cats and dogs on my care (and for us humans too!). It worked wonders recently for the 4th of July fireworks. Do your pets like music? How do you know? 🎶

The evidence is equivocal on whether animals dig human songs, so scientists set out to make music that mimics their soundscapes.
