Limitations of Pet Loss Support Hotlines

Often, the support line volunteers are not licensed veterinarians. As such, they CAN NOT give medical advice over the telephone. They respect your opinions and your right to make decisions concerning your pets. Therefore, they can not be expected to make these difficult decisions for you.

**Please Note: lightning-strike.com has no affiliation with these hotlines, but feel it is a service worth mentioning for further investigation by our readers.**
