Palliative Care

Does your pet suffer from a chronic illness that’s depleting his or her quality of life? Are you concerned that your elderly pet is experiencing too much pain? Are you struggling to care for your terminally ill animal companion?

As loving pet parents, we’d all love to see our companions live as long as we do. Unfortunately, these precious souls are only with us for a finite amount of time. It’s important that we take the appropriate steps to make sure that the end of that time is spent as happily and painlessly as possible.

The hospice care services at Southern Hills Animal Hospital are designed to help extend those final days while also relieving pain and reducing suffering. We understand that, as difficult as it is to say goodbye to a pet, deciding when the time is right to do so can be even harder. Our compassionate staff members will be there to explain your options and help you make those tough decisions.

We also want you to know that, when that time comes, we’ll be right by your side. We know exactly what you’re going through, because each one of us has been in your shoes. Rest assured that your loved one will be treated with the utmost compassion and given the opportunity to cross the Rainbow Bridge with peace and dignity.

Are you struggling with end-of-life decisions for your elderly or terminally ill pet? Perhaps you just have questions about how hospice care works and whether it would be a good option for your situation. In either case, we encourage you to pick up the phone and give Southern Hills Animal Hospital a call. We’re here to help make this difficult time a little bit easier.
