What year did you begin serving pets?

How did you hone your craft?
I have 15 years of veterinary technician experience, 17 years of grief counseling experience and a lifetime of pet care, behavior and anticpatory grief and loss experience.
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
If you are in a situation where your pet has a terminal disease prognosis, make sure you surround yourself with a team that you can trust and feel comfortable asking as many questions as you need to feel comfortable with the care that your pet will need.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
There is a wonderful book titled, "Saying Good-Bye to the Pet You Love" by Greene and Landis. This has been a benchmark for me in grieving personally and helping my clients. They have a chapter that discusses the different types of pet bonds we may have and helps explain that due to those bonds, that may be why we grieve the way that we do. So much is not talked about in terms of pet loss, people may feel minimized or judged. I want every person going through anticipatory grief or bereavement that your feelings are not only valid, but normal!
