End of Life Care
A difficult decision.
When an animal’s quality of life deteriorates to the point where they experience more bad days than good days, you may be faced with the difficult decision regarding whether to choose euthanasia.
In the same way we provide compassionate care for animals in their early days, we’re prepared to support you and provide end-of-life care for them during their last. As partners in your animal's health, we’ll make sure you’re informed about all potential treatment options before you make a decision. We understand that making that kind of choice is never easy, but we promise to be there every step of the way.
Should you decide euthanasia is the right choice for your animal, we’ll prepare you for the process and answer any questions you may have about what’s going to happen. We hope you’ll find some comfort in knowing our humane methods will ensure your animal is laid to rest peacefully.
Coping with Loss
Animals are family and losing them comes with the same grief as any other loss. If you’re struggling with grief following the loss of your animal, remember to:
- Give yourself time to mourn and cry
- Do your best to stick to your routine
- Talk about your feelings with family, friends, or even our hospital staff
- Memorialize your animal in a way that’s special to you
