"Why should I take this Animal Hospice Certification course?"
Learn more about our course levels.
"One of the most important things students can learn from our certification program is how to work with both the animal and its family as a single unit, all the while appreciating that they are part of the same equation. If we can teach our students how to help caregivers assist their animal companions in a manner that is both consistent with hospice principles and respectful of the animal's will to live, we will have reached our certification goal."
~ Dr. Kathryn D. Marocchino, Animal Hospice Group Founder
