Palliative Care, Quality of Life, and End-of-Life Consultation

Palliative care focuses on managing pain, discomfort, and symptoms associated with chronic or terminal illnesses in pets. Our experienced veterinarians will work closely with you to develop a personalized care plan that addresses your pet’s specific needs. We prioritize pain management, maintaining optimal nutrition and hydration, and enhancing their overall quality of life. Our goal is to minimize suffering and provide comfort for your beloved companion throughout their illness.

Assessing your pet’s quality of life is an essential component of their overall well-being. Our veterinary team is trained to evaluate various factors that contribute to their quality of life, including pain levels, appetite, mobility, behavior, and overall happiness. We will discuss these factors with you and provide guidance on recognizing signs of pain or distress. By regularly assessing your pet’s quality of life, we can make informed decisions regarding treatment options and interventions to ensure their comfort and happiness.

When a pet reaches the end stages of their life, making decisions about their care can be incredibly challenging. Our compassionate veterinarians are here to support you during this difficult time. We will provide a safe and comfortable environment for you and your pet, allowing you to discuss your concerns, emotions, and wishes openly. We will explain the available options, such as euthanasia, and help you make a decision that is in the best interest of your pet, considering their quality of life and well-being.

If euthanasia becomes the most compassionate choice for your pet, our veterinary team will ensure a peaceful and painless process. We offer a calm and private space where you can say goodbye to your beloved companion. Our veterinarians will explain the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and allow you the time and space you need to say your final farewells. We can also assist with aftercare arrangements, such as private or general cremation ,paw prints and so on.
