“When we think about the human animal bond there’s no time that we’re more vulnerable than when we’re facing the loss of a pet.” In this conversation for World Veterinary Day, Dr Alicia Kennedy from Cherished Pets shares her experiences working in the unique area of palliative veterinary care.

Alicia also discusses ways in which Cherished Pets helps support Barwon Health patients who are at the end of life to ensure that their pet will be cared for after their death. She offers insight into how important it is to include pets and to honour the human animal bond when supporting people planning for end of life. The peace of mind that people feel knowing their pets will be loved and looked after when they are no longer able to, is immeasurable.”
