The First International Symposium on Veterinary Hospice Care is a veritable historical event (first of its kind) and marks the culmination of a ten-year dream for The Nikki Hospice Foundation for Pets (The NHFP). In 2004, The NHFP joined forces with the Assisi International Animal Institute (AIAI) in order to make this symposium a reality. Through their joint efforts, world-renowned practitioners of veterinary hospice, human hospice professionals, and other well-known experts will be coming together to discuss a fascinating and emerging field that is quietly revolutionizing the face of veterinary medicine. Based on human hospice models, veterinary hospice addresses the needs of people who wish to care for their dying animals in the comfort of their own homes—under the guidance and assistance of veterinarians and a professional, qualified staff. By training caregivers to provide comforting palliation for their pets and by offering extensive support services as well as effective pain management, veterinary hosice gives dying animals and their people the opportunity to spend meaningful, quality time together before the pet’s final journey. By compassionately closing the “circle of care,” veterinary hospice honors the human-animal bond, never losing sight of either the companion animal or its caregiver in the total equation—and ultimately serving both in the best possible manner.
It will be held at Lecture Hall Antech 1020, on the first floor of Gladys Valley Hall, at the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis.
