What is Pet Hospice Care?
Dog and cat hospice care focuses on providing comfort and support to companion animals in their final days or weeks. It involves managing symptoms through pain control, nutritional support, and maintaining a quality of life that allows the pet and their family to share precious moments together. Our approach ensures your pet's last days are filled with love and dignity.
When Is It Time?
Knowing when it’s time to consider hospice care can be challenging. Many factors come into play, including your pet's condition, quality of life, and your family's circumstances. Our experienced veterinarians are here to guide you through these difficult decisions.
Below is a quality-of-life assessment handout that can guide you in determining when it’s best to discuss end-of-life care for your pet. The key is understanding your pet’s health and behavioral changes to prevent undue suffering. Like you, we want what’s best for them.
