Whether your pet is experiencing chronic illness, aging, or terminal conditions, we offer services designed to ease their discomfort while providing support to their families.
Understanding Pet End-of-Life Care
End-of-life care is about ensuring pets experience comfort and dignity in their final days. It involves managing pain, assessing the pet’s quality of life, and making thoughtful decisions regarding euthanasia and aftercare. Our veterinary team at Millstreet Veterinary Group offers compassionate support, helping pet owners navigate this challenging time. We focus on providing care that respects both the pet’s well-being and the family’s emotional needs, ensuring a peaceful and respectful transition for all involved.
Key Services Offered in Pet End-of-Life Care
We offer a range of services to ensure that both pets and their owners feel supported throughout this emotional process. These services include:
- Euthanasia: When the decision is made to humanely euthanize your pet, we focus on making the process as comfortable as possible for your pet and your family. Sedation is administered to keep your pet calm, and the procedure is performed with the utmost respect and care. Owners can, of course, be present as their pet passes away, ensuring a peaceful and compassionate goodbye.
- Quality of Life Assessments: We help families make informed decisions by offering quality-of-life assessments. These evaluations guide owners in determining when it may be time to consider end-of-life care options for their pets.
- Aftercare Options: We collaborate with a trusted cremation service, Pets to Rest, to offer families a dignified way to honor their pet’s memory. We take the time to discuss cremation options and help families find a respectful way to say goodbye.
