PET PALLIATIVE CARE

Question 1

Can you perform palliative care at home?

Answer

Yes, depending on the treatment, it may be more preferable for a home visit to provide palliative care to your pet. In some instances, treatment requires hospital facilities. We will guide you as to what this looks like for your pet.

Question 2

How do I know when it’s time to consider palliative care?

Answer

Our veterinarians are here to help you assess your pet’s quality of life and provide guidance on the best time to make these difficult decisions. If your pet is experiencing chronic pain, severe illness, or a significant decline in quality of life, it may be time to consider palliative care.

Question 3

How do I prepare my home for an in-home palliative care visit?

Answer

Creating a calm, familiar space for your pet is key. You may wish to set up a cozy area with their favourite blanket, toys, or treats. Our veterinarian can help you choose an appropriate space for privacy and comfort when they arrive.

Question 4

What are some signs that my pet may benefit from palliative care?

Answer

Signs may include chronic pain that is unmanageable with medications, difficulty moving, changes in appetite, or lack of interest in usual activities. If you notice these or other concerning symptoms, it may be time to speak with our team about palliative care options.
