| Topic: | Compassionate Euthanasia – What I’ve Learned By Focusing On End-Of-Life Care. | |
| Speaker: | Jason Doolittle, DVM, MA, CCFP, CPEV | |
| Bio: |  Dr. Jason Doolittle understands the deep bond you share with your pet and is committed to providing a peaceful, compassionate end-of-life experience in the comfort of your home. Growing up in California, he pursued his passion for veterinary medicine at Ross University, completing his clinical year at the University of Minnesota before earning his DVM from Ross University in 2001. After veterinary school, he married his wife, Rebecca, a dentist, and further honed his skills through a specialized internship in emergency and critical care in Milwaukee. Over the years, he has seen firsthand how stressful a clinic setting can be for pets and their families during their final moments, which led him to focus on in-home euthanasia. Dr. Doolittle believes that saying goodbye to a beloved pet should be a calm and loving experience, free from the anxiety of unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells. With years of experience performing euthanasias, he is dedicated to honoring the human-animal bond by providing a gentle, stress-free farewell in a familiar and comforting environment. His goal is to support pet owners through this difficult time with empathy and care, ensuring that every pet passes with dignity and peace. Outside of his work, Dr. Doolittle enjoys spending time outdoors camping, woodworking, and attending his children’s sporting events. He shares his home with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Rupert, a resilient three-legged calico cat named Trinity, and a Golden Greek tortoise named Annie. | |

Dear Colleagues,
I hope your month is off to a great start. It was great seeing so many of you at our last meeting—the steady participation makes our association a much stronger resource for everyone.
I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Park and DVSC for an outstanding and practical lecture on surgical techniques and decision-making. Her insights on refining everyday procedures, along with thoughtful guidance on when referral is in the best interest of our patients, provided takeaways for practitioners at all stages of their careers. We appreciate the time, expertise, and dedication she shared with our association.
We are also excited about our April 16th meeting featuring Dr. Jason Doolittle. Among his many professional accomplishments, Dr. Doolittle is a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian and brings a compassionate, thoughtful perspective to one of the most important aspects of our work. His approach to end-of-life care is sure to resonate deeply with our members and enhance the care we provide to patients and their families.
This upcoming event is made possible through the generous sponsorship of Jimbo Cash with Center Point Cremations. His support allows us to keep these valuable CE opportunities accessible to our members, and we are truly grateful for his partnership.
Thank you all for your commitment to excellence, your compassion for the animals entrusted to your care, and your engagement with our association. I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.
