Quality of Life Assessments

We understand that trying to assess the quality of life of your pet is difficult when emotions are involved. Please
utilize these 2 objective tools to help in this difficult decision process.

Our doctors will conduct a quality of life physical exam, conduct lab work if necessary, and work through a quality of life assessment with you.  Our goal is to enable you to make an informed, ethical decision concerning your pet’s quality of life.  You do not need to do this alone.

House Hospice Care

As pets near their final days, they may be in need of some quality of life support. Hospice care is intended to make your loved one’s final days as comfortable as possible. Our doctors can help with pain management, nutrition counseling, and quality of life assessments in these final days.

Our loved ones in the final days suffer from symptoms that we can help alleviate to help them pass pain-free and as comfortable as possible.  Pain, incontinence, dehydration, skin lesions are all symptoms we can help alleviate.  There is no reason to let them suffer.

House Euthanasia

We know this is an emotional event for pet owners. We will ensure you understand what will happen from beginning to end, and that you have a chance to say your final goodbyes.

Once we have gotten your pet to a point of relaxation, spend as much time as needed to say goodbye to your friends before the final step. We will take a claw paw print at this time if chosen.

If you select cremation, we will compassionately and respectfully transport your pet from your house to Trusted Journey.
