HOSPICE CARE
Make Your Pet's Last Days Their Best Days
Hospice Care at Home
When a pet is living with a serious or terminal condition, our priority is comfort, connection, and quality of life. At-home hospice care allows your pet to stay in familiar surroundings, free from the stress of travel or busy waiting rooms. We help manage pain, mobility challenges, nausea, appetite changes, and anxiety — all while honoring what makes your pet happiest day-to-day.
​
Guidance and Support for Families
We walk alongside you through every decision, monitoring how your pet is truly feeling and helping you understand what comfort looks like for them. Some families choose to pair hospice care with our Comfort Care Membership, which includes more frequent check-ins, enhanced communication, and proactive symptom management tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether you select a membership or prefer standard visits, you’ll have a compassionate team dedicated to preserving dignity, comfort, and precious time together at home.

What is Pet Hospice Care?
Pet hospice care focuses on providing comfort and quality of life for a pet that is facing the end of its life. Rather than pursuing curative treatments, hospice care involves managing symptoms and ensuring the pet is as comfortable as possible for the time they have left. This includes:
​
-
Pain Management: Using medications and therapies to relieve pain and discomfort.
-
Nutritional Support: Tailoring diets to meet the pet’s changing health needs.
-
Hydration Therapy: Ensuring the pet remains hydrated, which can be done through various means depending on their condition.
-
Emotional and Behavioral Support: Addressing any anxiety or distress to make sure they remain calm and comfortable.
