Animal hospital gives “goodbye kisses” to dogs before they have to be put sleep
By Mike-Ross
An animal hospital in Alabama has gone viral for the way they say goodbye to their animal patients.
Just a heads up, you may need a few tissues.
When the time comes, saying goodbye to your sweet animals is anything but easy. You want to make sure they know how loved they are so you smother them with hugs and kisses and give them all the treats in the world.
But sometimes that’s not always possible.
Staff at Smiths Station Animal Hospital in Smiths Station, Alabama recently shared how they handle euthanasia appointments.

“This jar is reserved for our euthanasia appointments…because no dog should go to Heaven without tasting chocolate.”
Dr. Nicole Namie explained that typically dogs were always given one final treat.
“If the staff has had pizza for lunch, we’ll give the dog some extra pizza.”
They’ve only been using “goodbye kisses” for a few weeks after one of the veterinary technician assistants saw the idea online.
Since sharing the jar of chocolate kisses, the image has gone viral with thousands of people sharing images of their own pets both living and deceased.
This is such a beautiful gesture. Not only does it comfort the dogs, but it also comforts the humans.
