Wisdom Paws RX — The Final Journey Program for Veterinary Clinics
An 8-module, RACE-approved online video program you can put directly in your clients' hands — before the hardest appointment, not after.

"You are giving them 4.5 hours with a specialist."
A pet parent who is overwhelmed, underprepared, and desperate for guidance you don't have 45 minutes to give. They don't understand what palliative care means. They don't know how to assess their pet's quality of life. They have never thought about what euthanasia actually involves. And they are looking at you to answer all of it — in the time you have left.
Wisdom Paws RX was built for exactly this moment.
The Final Journey is an eight-module online video program led by Dr. Elizabeth A. Fernandez, DVM, CVA, MA — a licensed veterinarian with over 40 years of clinical experience, certified in Veterinary Hospice and Palliative Care. In approximately 4.5 hours, Dr. Liz guides pet parents through everything they need to understand: what decline looks like, how to assess quality of life, how to think about suffering without projecting fear, what euthanasia involves, and how to be fully present when the time comes.
And because supporting families through end-of-life care takes a toll on you and your team too, The Final Journey is also available in a dedicated Veterinary Edition — created exclusively for veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
When you hand a client a Wisdom Paws RX code, you are not giving them a pamphlet. You are giving them 4.5 hours with a specialist.
Eight self-paced video modules covering everything from a fresh perspective on death to quality-of-life assessment and the final transition.

Sign up for the Veterinary Edition
This edition has all the content the Pet Parent edition has — available to you at no cost, online and self-paced, with 4.5 hours of RACE approved CE.
Before you can confidently recommend Wisdom Paws RX to your clients, you need to know what they'll experience. The Veterinary Edition gives you complimentary, RACE-approved CE access to the exact same content — so you can speak to it firsthand. When a client is standing in your exam room, overwhelmed and unsure of what comes next, your personal familiarity with the program transforms a referral into a genuine, trusted recommendation.
Veterinarians who go through the program often tell us it changes how they hold these conversations entirely. It gives language, framework, and compassion a structure — for you and for your clients.
You don't need a long speech. A simple, warm introduction goes a long way. Here's a script you can adapt in the moment:
Sample Script
"I know this is a really hard time, and I want to make sure you feel supported beyond just these appointments. There's a program I recommend called Wisdom Paws RX — it's an online, self-paced video series that helps pet families navigate exactly what you're going through right now. Things like understanding quality of life, making decisions with confidence, and knowing you're not alone in this. I've actually gone through it myself, and I think it would really help you. I'm going to send you the link — there's no pressure, just take a look when you're ready."
Tailor the language to match your natural voice. The goal isn't a perfect script — it's a moment of genuine connection that lets your client know there's more support available to them.

Important Distinction
Wisdom Paws RX is a client education resource — not a telehealth service. The program is pre-recorded video content. It does not replace the veterinarian's clinical role, and it does not include a live consultation with Dr. Liz. Tele-support consultations are available separately through WisdomPaws.com for clients who want one-on-one guidance.
No minimum to get started. Scale as your practice needs grow. All fees are subject to change.
