When is the best time to think about the end of your beloved pet’s life?  There never seems to be the right time and you definitely don’t want to wait until your pet is in severe, intractable pain.  Dr. Julie Reck, a companion animal veterinarian in Charlotte, North Carolina is all too familiar with the heartache pet owner’s experience while trying to grapple with end of life decisions for animals they love.  Dr Reck has written a very compassionate book on understanding our emotions, a pet’s perception of death and how to work through one of the most difficult and loving decisions a pet owner can ever make.
