| 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. | |
