Expert opinions and suggestions

"This service addresses two core needs - alleviating pet pain while helping owners build a sense of farewell ceremony," said Dr. Schmidt, professor of animal behavior at the University of Berlin. He advises to pay attention to when choosing such services:

1. Verify the medical qualifications of the institution
2. Observe whether the environment is truly quiet and comfortable
3. Avoid excessively prolonging pet pain

As pet roles gradually change from "raised objects" to "family members", such services that reflect life care may reshape the value orientation of the entire pet industry chain.
