A Practice Team Essential

Pet Bereavement Care in Practice
Mini Series

Focus on developing your skills in pet bereavement care in this comprehensive, fully-guaranteed Online Mini Series™ course from CPD Solutions

  • Develop your knowledge and practical skills in pet bereavement care
  • You have a whole year’s access to recorded sessions and study notes for reviewing key points
  • Superb value for money – you learn without travelling or paying for accommodation, childcare or petcare
  • Watch the recordings on your iPad, mobile, PC or tablet
  • Self-assessment quiz to ‘release’ your 8 hours CPD certification

I now have a better understanding of how different people cope and how we as a practice can try and help make this as supportive as we can that the client needs.

I will use the knowledge I have gained in my practice and hope to be able to in some way help owners who lose their pets to come to terms with this.
