“A good death should not be on the worst day. It should be on their last best day.” - Helen St. Pierre

In her talk at the Aggression in Dogs Conference, Helen St. Pierre reminded us that end of life care is not just about avoiding pain, but about preserving dignity, joy, and presence right up until the very end.

Her work with senior and hospice dogs shows us what it means to truly honor the lives in our care, not only by giving them a good life, but by ensuring they also have a good death.

Conversations like these are difficult, but they are necessary. They help us do better for the dogs and families we support.

Sharing. Use a cat tunnel in place of a tree skirt. Your Christmas tree loses interest and might stand a chance this year.
