A hospital in Alabama is going viral for how it says goodbye to its patients.
There is a possibility that you will need tissues.
It’s never easy to say goodbye to your beloved pet. You want them to know how much they’re loved, so you give them hugs and kisses and all the treats in the world.
There are times, however, when that isn’t possible.
Staff at Smiths Station Animal Hospital in Smiths Station, Alabama recently shared how they handle euthanasia appointments.
“This jar is reserved for our euthanasia appointments…because no dog should go to Heaven without tasting chocolate.”
Dr. Nicole Namie explained that typically dogs were always given one final treat.
“If the staff have had pizza for lunch, we’ll give the dog some extra pizza.”
They’ve only been using “goodbye kisses” for a few weeks after one of the veterinary technician assistants saw the idea online.
Thousands of people have shared images of their own living and deceased pets after sharing the image of the jar of chocolate kisses.
This is such a sweet gesture. Not only does it comfort the dogs, but it also comforts humans.
Thank you so much to the staff at Smiths Station Animal Hospital.
