Hospice is about Living.
Hospice is about loving and giving and enjoying the time you have left with your pet to the fullest extent possible. Generally, families utilizing our Pet Hospice Service are facing a terminal diagnosis for their pet, or the inevitable loss of their pet due to age — usually within weeks or 3-4 months.
Our pet hospice service is customized to the needs of your pet and your family. Our doctors and veterinary nurses have a deep interest in providing care for senior or terminally ill pets nearing their end of life. We can also provide referrals to social workers, and other support providers.
Our team can visit daily, weekly or whatever seems appropriate to the situation. We can set up regular visits or can come on an as-needed basis. We will make recommendations as to rechecks and you can decide what is right for your family and your pet. Hospice care can help improve the quality of life for your cat during this time in their life.
Support for the family – logistical and emotional, and referral to pet loss professionals if desired. End of life – issues surrounding your pet’s death – whether through natural death or, more commonly, euthanasia. Planning for aftercare.
Please feel free to contact us if you are curious about whether hospice is right for your situation.
