 Download this image and share it with someone who needs it. You're a pet parent. You're a warrior against the chronic illness your furry family member fights every day. You have a heart of gold. You have taken on a burden some choose not to. It's not an easy path, and we hope we can help just a little bit on your journey. Humans. Pets. How different is it really?A study was done by Kent State University that showed the stress on a primary caregiver is the same whether it's for a human or pet. This is called Caregiver Burden.
So, you're not crazy. Taking care of a chronically sick pet is stressful and you need to take care of yourself just as much as you take care of your beloved pet. Make sure to have someone to turn to. Make sure to take care of yourself because you are awesome.
