Saying Goodbye with Love

Alabama animal hospital gives "goodbye kisses" to dogs before they are put to sleep

Saying goodbye to our furry friends is never easy. It’s a time filled with sadness and heartache. We want them to feel loved and cherished until the very end. That’s why the staff at Smiths Station Animal Hospital in Alabama has come up with a touching way to say farewell.

At Smiths Station Animal Hospital, they believe that no dog should go to Heaven without tasting chocolate. To honor this belief, they reserve a jar of chocolate kisses for their euthanasia appointments. Each dog is given a final treat before they say their goodbyes.

But it doesn’t stop there. If the staff has had pizza for lunch, they make sure the dogs get to enjoy some too. It’s a small gesture, but one that brings comfort to both the dogs and their human companions.

The idea of “goodbye kisses” first came to the hospital after one of the veterinary technician assistants saw it online. They decided to give it a try, and it quickly became a treasured tradition. The staff at Smiths Station Animal Hospital understands the importance of showing love and compassion during this difficult time.

Since sharing their heartwarming tradition, the image of the chocolate kiss jar has gone viral. Thousands of people have shared their own stories and images of their beloved pets. It’s a testament to the impact that these small acts of kindness can have on both animals and humans alike.
