Our Services: Hospice Care

In many cases, terminally ill or geriatric patients can have a good quality of life if certain measures are taken, such as environmental changes or adding certain medications. In these cases, there is the option of animal hospice care. The goal of hospice is to minimize discomfort and maximize peace for the pet and his or her human caregivers during the animal’s last phase of life. Additionally, if pet owners would like a little more time to consider euthanasia or when natural death is preferred, hospices care is an alternative. Hospice-supported natural death is possible in many cases. 
‍
It’s important to understand that hospice care is to provide comfort and to avoid suffering in the final phase of an animal’s life, it does not provide a cure. Furthermore, seeking guidance from your primary veterinarian on the progression of symptoms will help you better understand the end stages of the disease process that your pet is experiencing.
