Handling Tricky Client Questions During Euthanasia with Grace and Confidence

Grieving clients say and do unexpected things during euthanasia appointments. Whether they’re thinking clearly or lost in sorrow, their questions and expectations may not align with what the veterinary team can ethically or medically provide. Examples include asking to feed highly unusual foods, film the procedure, administer the injection themselves, or keep a piece of the body. Many clients ask if their pet knows what’s happening to them and why. In this session, we’ll explore what clients seek with such questions and how to respond in a way that meets their emotional needs while honoring the team’s boundaries. Come prepared to share unique client experiences and leave with practical, compassionate responses.
