Suitable for the veterinary surgeon and other members of the veterinary practice team, this book helps the team deal more successfully with everyday issues associated with animal death.

A unique new book for the veterinary surgeon and other members of the veterinary practice team, "Companion Animal Death" will help the whole team deal more skilfully, sensitively and successfully with everyday issues associated with animal death. The book takes a positive and practical approach to the needs of clients, the welfare of animals and the personal and professional well-being of the veterinary practice team. The emphasis throughout is on the importance of trust, sensitivity, and good communication at every stage. The death of a much-loved animal, whether by euthanasia, illness or accident, is extremely stressful. Unfortunately, in veterinary practice, it is a circumstance that cannot be avoided. Performing euthanasia is a frequent and sad task for veterinary surgeons, and few receive formal training in the support that they can give to pet owners and to each other.The Society for Companion Animal Studies, through their excellent pet loss befriending work and training programmes, have considerable experience in this field and have put together this much needed book especially for those in veterinary practice.
The book includes: effective strategies for dealing with emotional distress; advice on how to avoid or minimise stress to all concerned - animal, owner and staff; practical guidelines for dealing with the many circumstances and issues associated with animal death; issue-based approach with key points highlighted for quick reference; important sections on Children and Pet Loss, Grieving Animals and Replacing a Companion Animal. This book is an essential purchase for every veterinary practitioner, veterinary undergraduate and veterinary nurse. Additional copies in the veterinary practice will prove an invaluable reference source for staff.
