Understanding Your Pet’s End Of Life Needs
Many pet parents choose hospice care in order to participate in decision making about their pet’s end-of-life needs, giving the entire family time to prepare for the pending goodbye to their companions and to plan for a peaceful death.
It is your choice to decide when the time for hospice is right for your pet. To the extent possible, hospice emphasizes quality of life and tries to make the last few months, weeks or days as comfortable as possible.
Families who choose to have a hospice service provided by Creature Comfort find that every effort is made to keep them comfortable; allowing them to spend their final time with their loved ones in the place that they call home.
Typically, pets are referred to hospice after the appropriate conversation with their Veterinarian.
Please discuss your situation with your Veterinarian and let us know how we can provide assistance. We strive to make ourselves available whenever needed to guide you through the difficult and complicated the process and to provide support wherever we can.
