The ASPCA guides pet parents in the care of an animal companion as she approaches her passing. Some of their tips include:
• Minimize your pet's discomfort or pain by having her examined by a vet and treating any health problems she's experiencing.
• Keep track of your pet's quality of life by asking your veterinarian to inform you of symptoms associated with your pet’s condition.
• Keep a daily record of your pet’s behavior, noticing if she seems confused, has lost her appetite or seeks out unusual places to hide.
• Make an elderly pet feel secure by surrounding her with her favorite things, like a warm blanket or special squeaky toy.
