The topic of end-of-life experiences (ELEs) in animals is an emerging area of research that aims to investigate and understand the behaviors and phenomena observed in domesticated animals during their final moments of life. Drawing from case reports submitted by pet owners, researchers examine similarities between these ELEs in animals and those reported in near-death states in humans. This area of study not only sheds light on the emotional and psychological aspects of dying in animals but also highlights the potential commonalities in the dying process across species. As more research is conducted, a better understanding of these experiences may contribute to improved treatment and care for animals during their final days, as well as provide insights into the nature of consciousness and the dying process for humans and non-human animals..
