Pet Loss Education
During a consulting session with a veterinary clinic, I made mention that the staff needed some training and elevation of communication and service skills. The office manager expressed concern with this thought by saying “what if I train them and they leave?”
I replied, “what if you don’t train them and they stay?”
Pet families today are looking to their veterinary professional team or an end-of-life care provider for exceptional services and an experience that’s memorable. Keeping an organization’s team relevant and skilled means a more engaged team, taking care of the families in ways that will have an amazing return on investment in word-of-mouth advertising and social sharing.

Veterinary Education
While there are countless opportunities for veterinary continuing education and veterinary technician continuing education, we’re confident the pet loss and pet end-of-life learning from Two Hearts will be that different skill enhancement learning you’re looking for.
Walking pet parents through the death of a beloved pet can be emotionally exhausting. Layer on countless euthanasia’s during the day, or the thought of the pet and pet family being one of the special clinic clients, one’s emotional capacity can certainly be stripped.
The Two Hearts Pet Loss educational platform is a beautiful dance of learning between business, soft skills, communication, compassion fatigue, death and grief training. These training classes allows each individual to choose those areas for enhanced learning, areas to review for skill assessment and refreshers, and additional courses that speak to the sign of the times: saying good-bye to a beloved pet during COVID.
This very tender aspect of high-level care for a loving pet parent is part of the experiential services every veterinary clinic strives to have, creating the utmost of loyalty from a client family. Not only is the Two Hearts educational content valuable learning, the added benefit of veterinarian continuing education credit and veterinary technicians continuing education credit makes these courses double valuable.
