What Is Veterinary Hospice Care?

Veterinary hospice care focuses on providing comfort and quality of life to pets with terminal illnesses or age-related conditions. Rather than pursuing curative treatments, our goal is to minimize discomfort, support emotional well-being, and ensure that every day your pet has left is filled with love and peace.

Our hospice services may include:

  • Pain management and symptom relief
  • Mobility support
  • Nutritional and hydration guidance
  • In-home care planning and palliative treatment
  • Quality-of-life evaluations
  • Open conversations about end-of-life choices and timing

We’ll work closely with you to develop a personalized care plan that reflects your pet’s needs and your family’s values.

When Is It Time to Say Goodbye?

There’s no easy answer to this question—but you don’t have to face it alone. Our veterinary team offers quality-of-life consultations to help you assess your pet’s comfort, mobility, appetite, and happiness. We provide honest, supportive guidance so you can make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.

When the time comes, we offer humane euthanasia services in a calm, private setting. Every detail is handled with the utmost sensitivity to ensure your pet’s final moments are peaceful and pain-free.

You’re Not Alone—We’re Here for You

Saying goodbye is never easy. But with the right support, it can be peaceful and filled with love. At Animal Hospital of University Drive, we’re honored to help you and your pet through this tender stage with grace, respect, and compassion.
