Step into Advanced Care with Our
Certified Animal Hospice Helpline Specialist Program (CAHHS)
Enhance your expertise in animal hospice care with our comprehensive Level 3 training, created for individuals dedicated to making a meaningful, immediate difference in the lives of pets and their families.
What is the Animal Hospice Helpline?
Imagine having a resource available, where families facing the imminent loss of their pet could reach out and receive support from someone who truly understands what they're going through. A compassionate voice on the other end of the line, ready to offer advice, provide support, and share knowledge during this difficult time.
Enter the AHG Helpline, also known as the Animal Hospice Helpline.
This invaluable service stands ready to assist families by connecting them with trained professionals who have dedicated themselves to understanding the complexities of animal hospice and palliative care. Our Level 3 Interns, under careful mentorship, utilize their expertise as graduates in Animal Hospice and Palliative Care, along with their skills as Animal Hospice Counselors and Helpline Specialists, to offer real support to families facing real challenges.
The AHG Helpline's mission encompasses:
- Listening to each unique situation
- Offering a variety of options for care
- Providing answers to pressing questions
- Guiding pet families on what they might expect in the days ahead
In a world where the default options often seem to be either costly treatments with uncertain outcomes or the consideration of euthanasia, we believe in offering another path—one that focuses on the quality of life for our animal companions in their final chapter. The loss of a pet is an emotionally charged event, and through the AHG Helpline, we aim to ease the burden by empowering families to make informed, compassionate decisions that honor the bond they share with their pets.
