America is undergoing a cultural sea change in how we say goodbye to our pets. A growing hospice movement is teaching pet owners how to administer late-stage care to animals with terminal illnesses. Vets make house calls to euthanize pets in the comfort of the home; bereavement counselors work with humans grieving over their four-footed dead. 

The expansion of animal- hospice and pet-oriented grief counseling services in recent years is rooted in an intersection of attitudes and affluence. For people without kids under their roof, pets often become surrogate children. This can lead to eyebrow-raising silliness - birthday parties for dogs? - but the profound emotional attachment is genuine. When people have the means and motivation to give their pets the best, perhaps it's only natural for them to treat animals as family - and that extends to life's end-stage.
