How to Say Goodbye on a Good Day - 🐾 Dr. Mary Gardner

Dr. Mary Gardner, the co-founder of Lap of Love, is dedicated to the care of geriatric pets and helping the families that love them. As a veterinarian that exclusively works on pets in their final life stages, she has seen it all. From vision issues to mobility to incontinence to mobility issues and everything in between.

Having lost one of her dogs without her being present, Dr. Mary Gardner would not want that again for any of her other dogs. But planning euthanasia can be an emotionally challenging thought. As the common saying goes, “A week too soon is better than a day too late”, Dr. Mary discusses this topic and how a pet owner can prepare for a goodbye while things are still ‘good’ to help avoid an emergency situation.
