Hospice care is a good option for dying loved ones so why not pets? Dr. Sunita Puri is the author of “That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour.” She’s also the program director of the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Chan School of Medicine, where she is an associate professor of clinical medicine. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss end-of-life care for beloved animals, when to know whether painful treatments are the right option and the emotional decisions pet parents must go through. Her article “When Should You Say Goodbye to a Pet?” was published in The New Yorker.
