The Last Days — A Veterinarian's Companion Guide & Workbook for the Final Chapter with an Animal You Love (Digital Download)

- The top ten things to do in your pet's last days

- The keepsakes people most often wish they had made

- What actually happens during euthanasia, step by step, from a veterinarian

- Children, other pets in the home, and aftercare

- Guilt, the 3am questions, and what to do with their things

- Three guided workbook pages for memories, the things you couldn't say, and a letter to yourself

✦ THE TOP TEN THINGS INSIDE

─────────────────────────────

• Talk to them — about everything and anything, now, during and after

• Tell them thank you, and how much you love them

• Cuddle with them lots — while you still can

• Take them to their favorite place — and tell them the stories

• Sing to them — your voice, in any tone, is beautiful to them

• Make all of the keepsakes — it's okay to make too many

• Ask for signs — if you are spiritual

• Give yourself time — grief comes in waves

• Pray about it — for strength, understanding, and healing

• Heal, because that is what they wanted

─────────────────────────────

✦ THE WORKBOOK PAGES

─────────────────────────────

• Three guided pages give you space to write what matters most:

• Your Favorite Memories — write them out in as much detail as you can remember

• The Things You Couldn't Say — anything and everything you didn't get to say

• A Letter to Yourself — all the things you did right, all the ways you loved them, and permission to heal

• Blank lined space follows each prompt for your own words.

─────────────────────────────

✦ WHO THIS IS FOR

─────────────────────────────

• For the pet parent who knows the time is coming and doesn't know what to expect.

• For the family trying to make the hardest decision together. For the person sitting with an aging or ill animal, wanting to make every remaining day count. For the one who has already said goodbye and is carrying the guilt, the questions, and the empty space where their companion used to be.

• For anyone who loves an animal deeply enough to want to do this part well.

• This also makes a deeply meaningful gift for a friend or family member facing the loss of a beloved animal.

✦ A NOTE FROM DR. SCOTT

─────────────────────────────

I know you're feeling confused and sad right now. I can tell you, because I've been there, that you can and will make it through this. It was just a few years ago that I lost my soul dog, Gizmo. It ripped me apart. But it was his love for me that allowed me to keep going.

My name is Dr. Cameo Scott. I'm a practicing veterinarian. I'm also a person. A pet parent. A human being who's grieved so deeply that she almost lost herself and still made it out to the other side.

This is why I believe that you can too. I hope this book provides comfort and real-life steps you will find useful to help you keep going during this difficult time.

With love,

Dr. Cameo Scott, DVM, MMSc, GC-C, CPEV
