Give your pet the goodbye they deserve with pet end-of-life services

Whether your pet is reaching its golden years or diagnosed with a terminal illness, it’s important to make sure that they have a comfortable and peaceful experience to minimise any discomfort or stress.

As your pet’s health takes a turn for the worse, you may want to take care of your pet at home under the supervision of a veterinarian. But as the time gets closer, you may decide that pet euthanasia is the best option to make sure your pet gets the dignified farewell they deserve.

We understand that this process can be a heartbreaking one and that’s why we are dedicated to making sure that you don’t have to take these final steps alone.

Let’s take a closer look at how you can obtain pet end-of-life services when a good quality of life is no longer possible.

Choosing the best pet end-of-life services

Every pet owner wants to make sure that their pets are in good hands and are taken care of until their final moments. Here’s how to make sure your beloved companion gets the best quality of life possible.

Palliative care

Palliative care involves helping your pet with pain relief and giving them nursing care after a terminal diagnosis or when curative medicine is no longer viable. It helps pets be comfortable during their last days and focuses on their overall physical, emotional, and social needs.

Select palliative care that’s known for the safety of pets and offers considered pain management, adequate attention, and a suitable diet to make their final days more comfortable.

Support services

For many, the pain of losing a pet is similar to that of losing a family member. Grief counselling can help pet owners navigate these feelings. Having that extra support can help you work through those emotions in a safe space.

It’s important to understand that you don’t need to go through pain alone and that the right pet end-of-life services can help pet owners every step of the way.

Consultations

One of the most important factors is the availability of veterinarians to either come for a consultation or speak to you over the phone to guide you through the entire process. Select a service that is knowledgeable about your pet’s diagnosis, dedicated to your improving your pet’s overall quality of life, and that can be available when it is most convenient and comfortable for your beloved pet.

Discuss your pet’s daily routine, toilet habits, mobility, symptoms hygiene, and other factors that make an impact on their physical, social, and emotional well-being.
