Pet Hospice Care – A Family Centered Approach for Pets with Serious Incurable Illness

heart

Pet hospice care is a family-centered approach to caring for animals with serious incurable illness. The animal hospice team includes, at a minimum, a hospice veterinarian and a veterinary nurse specializing in animal hospice nursing. The pet’s primary caregivers [human family or owners] must also take an active part in caring for the pet, assessing his or her condition and making important treatment decisions.

Is My Pet Suffering, and Is It Time?

We will discuss what “quality of life” means for your pet, teach you to listen to what your pet is telling you and guide you as you monitor the changes in your pet’s body and spirit.  Together, we will assess your pet frequently to keep his or her life meaningful and maintain comfort, hygiene and safety.

We provide the information and support you need to recognize symptoms, anticipate progression of disease and maintain realistic expectations.  We will discuss many options so you can make the best decisions for you and your pet.  We provide end of life consultations, in-home services and grief support.  We offer understanding and compassion, we are there when you need a supporting hand or a listening ear, and we can refer you to professional help when needed.

Our veterinary hospice team will provide at home medical comfort care and pain management expertise to your pet.  We are available 24/7 for established clients, to answer your questions and to assist with your pet’s medical care.

Pet Hospice Care and At Home Euthanasia

Hospice care for pets is an alternative to premature euthanasia. It is also an alternative to prolonged suffering, either in the isolation of intensive care or at home without adequate comfort measures and support. Our emphasis on the pet’s quality of life gives the family precious quality time and will help you cope with your pet’s decline and/or approaching death.

We give your family the emotional support needed to cope with the impending loss of your companion animal.  We do our best to be available 24/7 to make sure you are not alone with your struggle.  We provide end of life consultations, in-home services and grief support.  We offer understanding and compassion, we are there when you need a supporting hand or a listening ear, and we can refer you to professional help when needed.

You’re not in this alone
