Quality of Life Services

Throughout your pet’s life, our focus is to ensure they enjoy a high quality of life. As your pet ages or falls ill, they may experience a deterioration of their quality of life that may not be immediately evident. Our veterinary team will help you identify signs that your pet may be suffering and help you make decisions about how to best care for them.

Signs of a declining quality of life include:

  • Your pet is hiding or sleeping in unusual places
  • Your pet is avoiding their favorite activities
  • Your pet is confused or irritable
  • Your pet is not eating
  • Your pet is drinking water excessively

If your pet has a chronic condition or are experiencing pain in connection with aging, we are able to offer palliative care services to keep your pet comfortable as their disease progresses.

Our goal is to prevent your pet from suffering unnecessarily. We’ll work with you to decide upon a best course of action based on your pet’s needs.

These therapies may include:

  • Pain Control
  • Infection Control
  • Nutrition Support
  • Hydration Support
  • Surgical Procedures
