Hospice Care

The goal of hospice care is to provide medical and palliative (pain relieving or comfort giving) care to animals, usually when they are nearing the end of life. It includes counseling for owners on how to evaluate your pet's quality of life and how best to keep your pet comfortable and prepare for the eventual need for compassionate euthanasia. 

Questions we will work to answer during our hospice appointments:

  • What can I do to make my pet more comfortable?

  • How can I determine my pet's quality of life on my own?

  • What happens to pets that experience this disease?

  • How do I encourage normal behavior in my pet (e.g., eating or drinking)?

  • When is the right time to consider euthanasia?

  • How do I plan for euthanasia?

  • How can I prepare for the loss of my pet?

  • How can I get the help I need after my loss?

What you’ll pay for:

  • Housecall fee $50

  • Consult: $80

*Cost of medications will vary for every case
