In her book, Kindness For All Creatures,  Sarah K. Beasley, challenges readers to apply Buddhist Wisdom to aging animal companions -


  • Question assumptions about euthanasia and end-of-life care for pets. Take the time to really understand the ramifications of your choices.
  • Reach out to your community of friends and family to both ask for and offer support around elderly pet care.
  • Research and use simple mobility and home or travel adaptations for elderly pets.
  •  Research pain management techniques for pets before their pain becomes untenable.
  •  Recognize the end-of-life journey as natural, not something that needs to be prematurely ended.
  • Learn about karma  and varying beliefs about the death process.
  •  Be open to new perspectives about midwifing death for animals.
  • Accept grief as a natural part of a lifelong journey and something about which we can be curious.
  • Be kind to yourself and others who are making choices during a pet’s illness, injury,     or aging or dying processes.
