?This is an essential book for veterinary professionals interested in expanding their knowledge about hospice and palliative care options for companion animals. Since there is a paucity of information on this topic, this book fills an important gap and provides veterinary practitioners with valuable information on how to incorporate hospice and palliative care into their practice. In addition, the website that accompanies the book provides excellent client handouts for many difficult topics that can be used by many veterinary hospitals? Corinne Mei Lawson, DVM, University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine on behalf of Doody?s

?Hospice and Palliative Care for Companion Animals: Principles and Practice focuses on the final part of life?s journey, and provides veterinarians interested in providing end-of-life care a resource that covers the medical aspects of hospice care for pets as well as the emotional and spiritual care of clients?.In my opinion, this book is a good introduction to an emerging issue in veterinary medicine, and I am glad to have it in my library.?
