My Motivation
After 10 years in clinical practice ranging from equine, general practice, urgent care and small animal emergency, Dr. Silva has a wide range of experience/exposure to the realities of pet loss. Through these experiences she built an individualized approach based on the pet parents goals emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Providing this support to her clients and patients eased the anxiety around the loss and allowed for a peaceful transition for everyone. Her goals are to neither hasten nor postpone death, while also acknowledging and strengthening the human-animal bond. While this stage of life is often perceived as the most difficult, Dr. Silva feels the decision to provide a peaceful passing is perhaps the most compassionate of decisions in the pets' life. Being entrusted to take part of this final venture in your pet's life is an honor.
