Pet Hospice Care
Our pet hospice program helps manage end-of-life symptoms through three consultation options. House calls allow personalized care in your pet's familiar environment. Online/phone consultations offer flexibility during the pandemic with limited exams. Quality of life consultations focus on decision-making without medication prescriptions. We guide families in monitoring symptoms, environmental adjustments, and alternative therapies while educating about illness progression and diet.
In-Home Euthanasia
Our compassionate in-home euthanasia service prioritizes pet comfort through tailored sedation options. Oral and injectable sedation protocols ensure peaceful transitions with pain management included. The process involves multiple monitoring stages to confirm full sedation before administering the final solution. Families can choose to remain present throughout or step away during the final injection while maintaining a calm, familiar environment for their pet.
