"Idaho was truly a sweet sweet angel on earth. Everyone who met her fell in love with her quirky good nature. We have been so blessed to have her in our lives for fourteen years. Her wonderful spirit lives on in our hearts and memories."

🫶🐾FAQ: IS MY DOG SUFFERING?

Dogs often show suffering through changes in behavior rather than obvious signs of pain. Difficulty walking or resting comfortably, excessive panting, appetite changes, withdrawal, anxiety, disrupted sleep, and loss of interest in favorite activities can all signal declining quality of life. However, don't rely on one symptom to decide whether your dog is suffering. Look for patterns in comfort, function, and enjoyment of life—and ask your veterinarian whether the problems you're seeing can be effectively managed.

Heaven at Home Pet Hospice extends our deepest sympathies to Mavis and the Norman family for the passing of their beloved dog, Tyson. We love hearing cherished stories and memories about the pets we help pass peacefully. Here's a little bit of what Mavis shared with us about him:

"We had 8 of the best years with Tyson. He was such a lover and cuddler.

"Saying goodbye was one of the hardest days for us, but we are at peace knowing he is in a better place. Tyson gave us thousands of unforgettable memories for us to cherish."

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month, and as we begin our month-long discussions, we'll begin with perhaps the most common and important question we get asked by families with dogs at Heaven at Home: "Is My Dog Suffering?"

Dogs often show suffering through changes in behavior rather than obvious signs of pain. Difficulty walking or resting comfortably, excessive panting, appetite changes, withdrawal, anxiety, disrupted sleep, and loss of interest in favorite activities can all signal declining quality of life. However, don't rely on one symptom to decide whether your dog is suffering. Look for patterns in comfort, function, and enjoyment of life—and ask your veterinarian whether the problems you're seeing can be effectively managed.

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, offering a special time to honor the cherished pets who have crossed over. Today is a day to reflect upon their unconditional love, share fond memories, and find comfort in a community that understands the unique bond we share with our animal companions.

While today is intended to be a celebration of a pet's life, for many, it isn't so simple. If you're struggling with feelings of grief, even lingering ones after some time has passed, it's important to know you're not alone. Heaven at Home welcomes you to our Pet Loss Support group, which meets every second Tuesday of the month. Learn more here: https://www.pethospicevet.com/resources/grief

If Heaven at Home helped your fur baby pass peacefully at home, we welcome you to create a permanent memorial for them on our site, sharing their memory alongside others who have done the same. Visit our Memorials page here: https://www.pethospicevet.com/memorial/

A home hospice plan for your pet is built on compassion, customization, and empowerment—creating a sanctuary in your own home where your pet's quality of life can be enriched and comfortable, for as long as possible. The journey often begins with a telemedicine visit with a hospice nurse to evaluate your pet's condition, your expectations, and the care environment, and then a follow-up in-person appointment.

"This includes a thorough physical examination and observation of your pet within their familiar surroundings. The team also discusses your expectations, hopes, and concerns before crafting a personalized plan that will also be shared with your primary care veterinarian, if applicable," said Dr. Laurie Brush, founder of Heaven at Home Pet Hospice.

When a beloved pet dies, the emotional pain can feel just as intense—and enduring—as the loss of a child. Now science is beginning to give us clues as to why. Groundbreaking insights from neuroscience suggest that pets become deeply woven into our emotional and neurological lives due to interspecies brain wave synchronization.

The reasons for this can be complex. Our latest post, "The Neuroscience of Grief and Attachment: Why Losing a Pet Can Feel Like Losing a Child," explores this phenomenon and its causes - take a look in our Resource Center: https://www.pethospicevet.com/the-neuroscience-of-grief-and-attachment-why-losing-a-pet-can-feel-like-losing-a-child/
