Understanding Compassionate Pet End-of-Life Care

During this challenging time, our veterinarians are here to support you through compassionate consultations. These consultations serve as a platform for discussing your pet’s condition so both parties can thoroughly understand your pet’s health status. Our goal is to address your concerns empathetically and guide you through the available options for end-of-life care in a supportive environment.

Avenue of the Saints Animal Hospital specializes in palliative care for pets with chronic illnesses or terminal conditions. This care centers on enhancing your pet’s quality of life by managing pain and promoting overall comfort. Collaborating closely with you, our veterinarians develop personalized care plans that cater to your pet’s unique needs, ensuring a dignified and compassionate approach to their end-of-life journey.

Helping You Make Informed Decisions:

  • Quality of Life Assessments: To assist you in making well-informed decisions, we conduct comprehensive quality-of-life assessments. These evaluations consider factors such as pain, mobility, and overall well-being, helping you determine the most compassionate and appropriate course of action for your pet.
  • Euthanasia Services: If euthanasia is deemed the most humane and compassionate choice for your pet, our veterinarians are experienced in providing it with gentle, considerate, and above all dignified care. We approach this process with the utmost compassion, allowing you to say goodbye to your pet in a calm and loving environment.
