Saying goodbye to a pet is heartbreaking - especially when you have to wish them farewell well before their time. But one vet has been trying to reassure owners who don't stay in the room when their beloved pet is being put to sleep.
She says every owner has their own personal reasons as to why they can't comfort their pets in their final moments - whether it's because they're trying to shield their children from the pain or they simply can't handle seeing their pet that way. In an open letter on Reddit, the vet explained how she steps up to comfort animals who have been dropped off at her centre to be euthanised - and how she tries to make it a calm experience for them with no pain or discomfort.
