Pet hospice care involves providing palliative support from the moment of a terminal diagnosis through the final stages of illness, until the pet’s passing. It requires a collaborative effort between the family and veterinary team to develop and adjust a personalized comfort plan. When you decide on palliative care for your pet, the core goal shifts from curing illness to symptom management and maintaining dignity.
We focus on optimizing your pet’s comfort and minimizing distress at any stage of illness. The goal is always to help the pet live well by managing symptoms and improving quality of life, regardless of whether a cure is possible. We seek to increase comfort and minimize distress for pets with any illness.
Dr. MacDonald’s passion for dignified, compassionate end-of-life care stems from her clinical experience—seeing many owners unprepared for their pet’s passing in the critical care setting and her own personal experience providing comfort care at home. She created this service to ensure all pets can live comfortably and pass with dignity. Please contact us for more information and pricing.
