This qualitative study examines the personal experiences of veterinarians involved in performing euthanasia on stray animals in selected shelters across District II of Laguna, Philippines. Through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, the researchers identified recurring emotional, ethical, and professional challenges these individuals face. The study highlights the heavy psychological burden, moral conflict, and limited institutional support encountered by shelter veterinarians. Findings underscore the need for stronger mental health programs, peer support mechanisms, and broader public education. The study offers valuable insights into improving working conditions and emotional resilience among veterinarians, while also advocating for policies that reduce shelter euthanasia through preventive programs.
