The importance of supportive and professional end-of-life care is increasingly vital for businesses and staff in terms of client retention, relationships, and crucial team wellbeing.

It is particularly helpful for veterinary teams and those working with owners whose pets are facing rehoming, euthanasia, or have died.

Giving you the skills to support owners and yourself during the difficult bereavement stages, the course covers the following topics in-depth:

  • Pet loss experience
  • Self-care
  • Emotional support skills
  • Stages of grief
  • Pet euthanasia
  • Remembrance and rituals

Certified by CPD, the course requires a minimum of three to four hours of study per week and counts towards 32 hours of Continual Professional Development.
