Pet hospice care, also known as palliative care, is an option if your pet is suffering from a terminal illness and a cure is not possible.  It seeks to maximize patient comfort while minimizing suffering, utilizing a collaborative and supportive approach between the medical team and caregiver. For everyone involved, end-of-life care and decision-making are medically, emotionally, and ethically challenging. Our unwavering commitment is to provide optimal patient care and client support, preserving and enhancing the human-animal bond. Our professionally trained staff can help you navigate the end-of-life process by guiding you through home care, pain medications, dietary strategies, and other tools.

Please call our hospital if you feel your pet needs hospice care.
