Compassionate Pet Hospice & End-of-Life Care in Ozark, MO

Pet hospice care provides gentle, supportive guidance for families navigating the final stages of their pet’s life. At McClure Veterinary Clinic, we focus on comfort, dignity, and quality of life, helping you understand what your pet is experiencing and how we can keep them as comfortable as possible. From understanding what hospice care is, to recognizing when it may be time, to offering personalized symptom management and discussing peaceful euthanasia options, this section walks you through everything you need to know. Our goal is to support your pet with compassion and to give you clarity, reassurance, and confidence during one of the most emotional moments of pet ownership.

Pet hospice care (also known as palliative care for pets) is designed to support dogs and cats during the final phase of life. Our veterinary team will:

  • Assess your pet’s comfort and quality of life

  • Manage pain, anxiety, and chronic symptoms

  • Provide mobility support and nutritional guidance

  • Help you determine when it may be time to consider euthanasia

  • Offer emotional support for your family

  • Discuss end-of-life planning and aftercare options

Our goal is to give your pet the most peaceful, comfortable, and dignified final chapter possible.

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.
