The death of a pet can be devastating --yet when you lose an animal companion--you’re sometimes expected to “just get over it.”  This hour, we talk about human attachment to pets. Have you experienced the death of a beloved animal? How comfortable were you talking about your grief with others?

We also explore the impacts on the mental health of veterinarians as they help patients and pet owners during end of life care. Decisions like euthanasia are difficult but what happens when a vet and an owner disagree about what is best for an animal?
