Speaking of Pets episode 92 - Dr. Elizabeth Hugger from Lap of Love - Take 2!
Welcome to Take Two, our re-release series featuring the conversations you told us matter most—episodes worth hearing again, sharing again, and saving for the moment you (or a friend) might need them.
In this emotional and deeply compassionate episode, hosts Alice and Janet sit down with Dr. Elizabeth Hugger, co-founder of Lap of Love, to talk about what it truly means to support pets and their families through end-of-life care—while honoring the human-animal bond every step of the way.
Dr. Hugger shares the inspiring story behind Lap of Love’s beginnings in the Tampa area and how it has grown into a nationwide service dedicated to comfort, dignity, and peace. We explore how Lap of Love helps families navigate some of the hardest decisions with services including in-home hospice care, tele-hospice consultations, and peaceful in-home euthanasia, designed to reduce stress for both pets and the people who love them.
You’ll also learn what to expect during these tender moments, how veterinarians help create a calm, respectful experience, and why grief support and pet loss resources are an essential part of caring for families—before and after goodbye.
Whether you’re preparing for a pet’s final chapter, supporting a friend through loss, or simply want to understand the compassionate options available, this episode offers practical guidance, comfort, and heartfelt perspective.
