Home Hospice & Quality-of-Life Evaluation

A Quality of Life Consultation can help you make the best choices for your family and your pet as you become aware that your pet may be nearing the end of its journey. In addition to a thorough discussion of the numerous facets of your pet’s health that could have an impact on their daily quality of life, we will utilize this time to explore the specific issues for your pet, you, your family, and other pets in the home. We will talk about potential changes as your pet’s condition or sickness worsens, and we’ll give you advice and resources to make an informed decision about end-of-life care.

We’ll talk about your desired outcomes for your pet’s trip, as well as strategies for achieving them. We can also talk about any questions or concerns you might have in advance of a future euthanasia appointment, as well as what in-home euthanasia might entail. Our online consultations normally run an hour to give us enough time to respond to all of your questions and concerns in a relaxed and encouraging way. Your primary care veterinarian will also receive an email update along with a follow-up email summarising the conversation.
