Emily is a dedicated hospice care provider, educator, and speaker, with a passion for helping families navigate one of life’s most difficult moments.

​

Since assisting with the startup and development of one of Canada’s first Veterinary Hospice Centres in 2018, she has been committed to providing compassionate hospice care and ensuring that pets receive a peaceful and dignified passing.

​

Her work guiding families through the final phase of their pet’s life has inspired her to develop a hospice and end-of-life care training program, designed to equip veterinary professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to support families during the hospice phase.

​

As a Registered Veterinary Technician, Emily has been a pioneer in providing in home euthanasia services under the indirect supervision of a Veterinarian, demonstrating how RVTs, when given the opportunity and dedicated training, can make a significant impact in this area.

​

Driven by her belief in accessibility, Emily is focused on finding creative solutions to increase the availability of hospice and euthanasia services for pet families. In addition to her work with veterinary teams, she is excited to introduce dedicated training for pet parents this June!

​

This new initiative aims to provide families with the education, tools, and resources they need to have meaningful discussions with their veterinary team and make informed, compassionate decisions during this difficult journey.

Emily’s goal is to ensure that all families can access the care and support they deserve at the end of their pet’s life, and to advocate for a future where RVTs play a leading role in meeting this growing need within the veterinary industry.
