Press release from Angel Pets Expo Asheville:
Angel Pets Conference 2019 – Asheville, Saturday, June 8th at the Renaissance Hotel, 8-5 p.m (Salon A). This pioneering, unique, and much-needed conference covers many topics on senior pet care needs, end-of-life care, caregiver support and grief healing. The conference highlights important medical topics for senior animal needs and resources, assessing animal quality-of-life, explaining animal hospice and palliative care, and covering the medical, practical, emotional considerations for pets at the end-of-life transition. Special focus will also be on grief healing from pet loss for ourselves and family, which is often complex and under-addressed in our society. Some presentations offer professional RACE CE credit. Great for pet parents and pet professionals.
“We all want to loving care for our pets during this time, but don’t always know how.” Understanding more about these areas will help us become better equipped to handle this critical time for our pets and ourselves. Being aware of the resources available can be tremendously helpful and healing. Tribute video will be played at end for attendees’ pets.
The goal is to help us become more knowledgeable and comfortable in caring for our pets (and ourselves) during this difficult, but inevitable time in our pets’ lives.
Speakers include expert local area veterinarians, Dr. Beth Marchitelli DVM (4PawsFarwell); Dr. Kasandra Garner, DVM (Animal Hospital of North Asheville); internationally recognized pet loss specialist Coleen Ellis, CT, CPLP (TwoHeartsPetLossCenter), and Dr. Angel Mitchell, DVM, Bonnie Brae Veterinary Hospital.
