Saying Goodbye to a Pet

About Me

My name is Lisa Jenkins. Thanks for stopping by my website. I have had dogs, cats, horses and even pigs over the years. I love my pets and when it comes time to say goodbye it hurts terribly. I feel that we have been given a gift by being able to put our dying pets gently to sleep. Euthanization is sometimes the kindest option for a sick and suffering pet. My veterinarian and I are like-minded when it comes to euthanization. If one of my pets is suffering and has no chance of getting better, I feel it’s my duty to help relieve them of their pain. We recently had to put my twenty-year-old cat down. He had cancer for years but didn’t suffer. In the end, he let us know when it was time. I’m going to share some of my experiences and about my amazing veternarian.
