Hospice and End of Life, with Dr. Nick Labriola of Lap of Love

 Jumping into the first episode of 2023 with probably the hardest topic when it comes to pet ownership, and that is hospice care and euthanasia . While I am not certain anything can fully prepare us for the emotional side of pet loss, I think understanding the practical side and the technical side of end of life can hopefully help make it a little less scary. In this episode  I chat with Dr. Nick Labriola, DVM of Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice. Lap of Love is a network of veterinarians around the country with the goal of empowering every owner to care for their geriatric pets. Dr. Nick, who specializes in end of life care and euthanasia, chats about what to expect from hospice care, what to expect from euthanasia, what to look for in our pups, and how to know when it’s time to make those difficult decisions.Helpful Links:https://www.lapoflove.com/https://www.instagram.com/lapofloveveterinaryhospice/Follow Dr. Nick;https://www.instagram.com/realdr.nick/Send us Fan MailSupport the showFollow The Baroo:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/baroopup/Blog- https://www.thebaroo.com/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/baroopet/   Pet parent question or story of canine companionship  to share ?
