In-home Veterinary Hospice is a wonderful option to help keep you and your pet comfortable and happy towards the end of their life. One of the biggest questions among those seeking hospice is, “how do I know it’s time?” Quality of Life is the biggest factor we focus on during hospice care, and the best person to evaluate that for your pet is you! We’re here to help guide you through the physical and emotional attributes of your pet and how to assess them. Our personalized quality of life scale can help you track the most important aspects of your pets life to ensure they are comfortable and happy, and help you to know “when it’s time.” Starting to fill this chart out prior to our visit can really help us understand on a deeper level what your pet needs, not just medically, towards the end of their life.
Also included in this document are some resources with links that we may talk to you about during your appointment. We know that considering end of life care can be stressful, but we want to make this as smooth for you and your pet as possible. If you have any questions prior to your appointment, please be sure to mention that on your intake forms, and any questions afterwards your doctor will be happy to answer. Follow up appointments are available as needed as well.
We look forward to meeting you and your pet and working together for a happy and comfortable hospice experience.
