Our Mission
The mission of animal hospice and palliative care is to serve the needs of seriously ill and dying animals and their human families - before, during, and after death. Animal hospice and palliative care provides comfort and caring when curing is no longer an option.
With home hospice care we will help your pet spend the last days of life in peaceful, familiar surroundings allowing you and your pet to make the very best use possible of the precious time you have together.
What We Do
Dr. Conner will schedule time to review your pet’s medical history, discuss your goals, and develop a hospice or palliative care plan. She will work with your regular veterinarian to ensure she has the most up-to-date information and ensure they are part of the process as needed. Some of the goals of the hospice or palliative plan will be:
- Caring for your pet at home
- Providing information about the anticipated course of the disease
- Providing information about all medical care options
- Ensuring you recognize the signs of your pet’s discomfort
- Prescribing multiple treatment modalities to maximize your pet’s comfort
- Helping you make difficult decisions
- Offering care during the last hours of life
- Working to ensure a peaceful, dignified and supported death
- Offering home euthanasia if needed
- Providing information about after death care options
- Offering a variety of urns and other tribute items
Organizing ceremonies and guiding memorialization projects
You can rest assured that we will be with you through this difficult time to help provide care and support.
