Pet End-of-Life Care
End-of-life care for pets is a delicate and compassionate process that aims to provide comfort and support to animals as they near the end of their lives. Just like humans, pets deserve dignity, respect, and attention during their final days.
End-of-life care for pets encompasses a range of considerations beyond just physical comfort. It involves understanding and addressing the emotional needs of both the pet and their human family members. This may involve allowing for special moments of connection and reflection, such as taking photos or creating memory keepsakes, to cherish the bond shared.
Ultimately, end of life care for pets is a deeply personal journey that requires empathy, understanding, and a commitment to honoring the unique bond shared between humans and their animal companions. We know it won’t be an easy call to make, but please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can assist you with end-of-life care for your pet.

Pet Loss Support
We understand the power of the human-animal bond and that grief and loss can be very difficult. Many of us have gone through this hard time and we want to try to make it a little easier for you by offering support.
The most important things you can do for yourself and your family during this time:
- Go through the emotions you are feeling.
- Take your time; there is no timeline for grief.
- Take time to remember your pet. Consider making a little memorial.
- Connect with friends/family who understand and support the loss of a pet.
- Find things to fill your time and that replenish you, such as taking a walk or reading a book.
Anticipatory Pet Grief
Anticipatory grief is common among pet owners who know that their pets’ lives are coming to an end due to age, terminal illnesses, or other health issues. Many of us have experienced this type of grief but didn’t realize what it was.
Anticipatory grief is similar to conventional grief in many ways such as feelings of anxiety, anger, denial, dread, sadness, isolation, and guilt. The key difference is experiencing all this before your pet has passed away because you know that death is imminent.
Ways to support yourself during this time:
- Accept that this is a normal reaction and recognize your (and other family member’s) emotions.
- Practice self-care. During this time, you may be caring for an aging pet with increased medical needs. It is important to recognize the signs of caregiver burnout.
- Seek support through pet groups or family/friends
- Communicate with your veterinarian and care team
