Hospice care for pets is an alternative many will find to be of benefit for their pet and family. From the article “WHAT IS HOSPICE CARE FOR PETS?”
“I’ve met many people who have said to me, “I just can’t put my pet to sleep; this is a decision I do not feel comfortable making.” The desire to have a pet pass in his or her own time is also a valid choice, and of course this is the reality of human medical care every day. I have held the hand of two grandparents through the amazing process of hospice care, and I know firsthand how much a trained hospice provider can do for a family: provide counseling, education, support, all just as important to us as management of medical issues. This too is something we can provide in veterinary medicine.”
