We're back with Dr. Kyle Bohland from the Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center.
Last week, we talked about the behavioral issues that seems to be becoming more common in our companion animals.
Today, we're exploring the complex issue of behavioral euthanasia. We talk about the signs that might prompt such a decision and the factors involved in the process.
Dr. Bohland emphasizes the importance of considering our pets' quality of life and safety, along with the quality of life and safety of the humans who share the home.
Dr. Bohland highlights how the decision to euthanize on the basis of behavioral issues requires teamwork from the pet guardian and their veterinarian.
