End of life care can seem chaotic with some owners wanting one thing and others focused on completely different things. When bad news happens or old age is starting to wear on a pet owner, it is important to have a conversation to establish goals of care for a pet at the end of its life. This helps everyone on the care team focus on the pet, maintaining quality of life while satisfying how the owner wishes to say goodbye to their pet. These goals also help reduce anxiety of the unknown surrounding death and help with the grieving process.

This article emphasizes understanding pet owners' diverse grief responses and applying contemporary grief theories to support them effectively. It highlights the veterinarian's role in ensuring smooth euthanasia processes, offering reassurance, and facilitating memorialization. Follow-up interactions, such as cards and resource sharing, foster trust and aid grief processing. While veterinarians are not counselors, providing clients with access to external support resources and training staff in empathetic communication can significantly support their grief journey, strengthening the bond between clients and veterinary professionals during this sensitive time.

Humane euthanasia is one of the most sacred responsibilities of the veterinary profession. Veterinary professionals should always strive to demonstrate a balance of medical knowledge and emotional sensitivity during euthanasia conversations and appointments; the biggest challenge of this balancing act stems from the fact that veterinarians are not only advocating for the physical welfare of their patient but also for the emotional welfare of the pet's family. Above all, showing affection for the pet, acknowledging the accomplishments of the family in the pet's care, and achieving a peaceful transition should be seen as a final victory of the human-animal bond.

The treatment of chronic pain in geriatric dogs and cats needs special consideration about what might be employed for a younger and more robust population of animals. Careful consideration of possible comorbidities will determine what treatments might cause a higher degree of adverse events. Chronic pain, left untreated, often leads to a decision to euthanize by the caregiver, so it is important to perform careful orthopedic and neurologic examinations on this patient population so that reasonable therapeutic options can be discussed.

This review emphasizes the strong link between oral/dental disease and aging in pets, highlighting that periodontal disease, tooth resorption, and oral tumors are more common in senior animals. Chronic inflammation from untreated oral issues can impact overall health. The article discusses the importance of preventative care, accurate diagnosis, and tailored treatment strategies, including advanced periodontal therapy and surgical options. It stresses the significance of proper anesthesia protocols, staff training, and client communication to improve outcomes and quality of life for senior pets. Early detection and ongoing care are crucial to managing oral health and preventing systemic complications in aging animals.
