Dr. Shea Cox explains how pet hospice is so much more than facing the final days of a treasured relationship. It’s an opportunity and an obligation to make the best choices for a beloved pet long before that time comes.

Blue Pearl Pet Hospice provides senior care, pain management, hospice care and end-of-life services for your pet with in-person and virtual services available. Free access to their LearnPetHospice.com includes video modules on understanding quality of life, recognizing pain in dogs, recognizing pain in cats, and nationwide telehealth consults.

The In-home Pet Euthanasia Directory connects families to local providers who specialize in pet end-of-life care needs. Services offered will vary by provider, but can include hospice, palliative care, pain management, acupuncture & alternative medicine and euthanasia.

Dog Words guest Jesse Shroyer shared the touching story of her experience with hospice foster Huck on episode 0102.

Another wonderful way to support Rosie Fund and create beautiful artwork of a beloved pet is to book a session with Claire Shelley at BLegendaryPhotographyCreations.com. For every referral from Rosie Fund, Claire will donate $100 or 10% of the order total, whichever is greater. This does not apply to designated fundraising campaigns like the Pooch Playoffs that already support charities or to the gift vouchers that Claire donates to the Rosie Life Starter Kits.
