Deciding when to say goodbye is one of the hardest parts of being a pet parent. We offer quality-of-life evaluations to help you understand your pet’s physical and emotional wellbeing. These assessments may include:
Pain levels and mobility
Appetite and weight changes
Hydration and organ function
Breathing and heart health
Enjoyment of daily activities
Overall comfort and dignity
Our veterinarians provide gentle, honest guidance to help you make the most compassionate decision for your pet.
Every pet and family is unique, which is why our hospice care plans are always customized. We can assist with:
Medications for comfort and pain
Mobility aids for senior pets
Special diets and hydration support
Home environment adjustments
Emotional support for families and children
Coordination with our in-home end-of-life service, Greener Pastures
Your pet’s comfort is our highest priority, and we treat every case with deep respect, empathy, and understanding.
When medical treatment is no longer helping your pet maintain a good quality of life, euthanasia may be the most compassionate and humane option. Our veterinarians provide gentle, peaceful euthanasia services and can help you decide when the time is right.
If you prefer to say goodbye at home, our in-home service at Greener Pastures offers private, peaceful at-home euthanasia to ensure your pet spends their final moments in familiar surroundings.
