Meet Our Team
Compassionate Veterinary Hospice is one of the first of its kind worldwide
Our Team Offers Unmatched Expertise
It takes a team of hospice experts to address the broad array of needs of seriously ill pets and their families. The hospice multidisciplinary team strives for enhanced communication, clarity of roles and responsibilities, positive energy, productivity and caring relationships.
The team works together focusing on the seriously ill pet’s needs; physical, emotional, and social. The goal is to help keep the animal as pain-free as possible, with loved ones nearby until death. The hospice team develops an individualized care plan that meets the pet’s needs for comfort and pain management, and offers the family resources for coping with a stressful reality.
You can choose to have your family vet remain involved in your pet’s medical care. Your family vet and our hospice medical director can work together to coordinate your pet’s medical care. Close veterinary supervision is crucial to ensure quality hospice care, especially when family members or loved ones take upon themselves new responsibilities as the pet’s primary caregivers.
Hospice recognizes primary care givers’ special needs for support. As a relationship with the hospice begins, hospice staff will want to know how best to support you and your family during this time.
Our Multidisciplinary Team Philosophy:
- Emphasis on pain control, quality of life and what’s best for the animal;
- Guiding families nonjudgementally to make decisions that are best for them;
- Support the family’s emotional bond with a seriously ill beloved animal;
- Acknowledging the pet’s value.
