2nd International Symposium on Veterinary Hospice and Palliative Care

Blanco is 29 years old and in mild discomfort from arthritis. As he gets older, he DESERVES to be made comfortable and have his treatment and welfare to be foremost in his caretakers mind. Our animals, pets and friends deserve to have Hospice and Palliative Care as a choice in their end of life options. They deserve to be as pain free as modern Veterinary Medicine can provide. Veterinary Hospice is a new field. We NEED EVERYONE who is concerned about animals, work with animals, love animals, and care about animals learn about Hospice Care For Animals . On September 4-7, 2009 (over Labor Day) at the University of California School of Veterinary Medicine YOU can be part of the historic Second International Symposium on Veterinary Hospice and Palliative Care. The first day is an optional tour of BrightHaven a holistic Hospice for Animals and Pet Sanctuary founded by Gail and Richard Pope. (www.brighthaven.org) The rest of the program is filled with the latest information from the leading experts in Veterinary Pain Management, Hospice Philosophy and History, Animal Communicators, How to Implement a Hospice Practice, Personal Experiences, and much more. This is the opportunity to be involved with the beginning of a new field that greatly needs new people to bring this back to every community to give every pet the chance for Hospice Care. Blanco would appreciate it if you would come to this meeting and help change the face of pet care!
