Hospice Care: Comfort and Dignity

Personalized Support for Pets Nearing Goodbye

When a pet faces a terminal diagnosis or irreversible age-related decline, hospice care focuses on maximizing quality of life rather than pursuing aggressive treatments. Our hospice approach involves creating individualized care plans that address pain management, nutrition, hydration, mobility assistance, and emotional well-being for pets in their final chapter of life. We work closely with families to establish realistic goals and help them recognize changes in their pet’s condition.

We’ll help you evaluate your pet’s quality of life using objective assessment tools while honoring the special bond you share. Our veterinarians will explain the process thoroughly so you know what to expect, answer all your questions honestly, and support whatever level of involvement feels right for you during the procedure.

The Decision

It isn't easy to determine when the time is right to say goodbye. Your pet's quality of life is among the most crucial factors to take into account. You will be able to tell when your canine companion or feline friend can no longer appreciate activities they used to enjoy and when their overall zest for life has decreased since you know them better than anyone else.

When you contact us about in-home euthanasia in Hiawassee or the nearby communities, we will talk about your pet's condition and the reasons you are thinking about euthanasia. We'll also give you the time you need to ask questions and express any worries you might have. When you determine that the time is right to use our services, we will walk you through the procedure and go over any requests you may have.

The Day of Your Pet's Appointment: What to Expect

When we arrive, we'll meet with you to examine your pet quickly and discuss your concerns so you can make an informed decision. If you decide to move forward, we will assist you in selecting a location in your house where you and your pet will feel at ease. Once you have both settled into a comfortable area of your home, we will give your dog or cat a sedative. Within 1 to 7 minutes, your pet will enter a peaceful slumber. The sedative will make sure that your beloved pet doesn't feel pain, fear, or stress in their last moments.

Once the sedation has had a chance to take effect, we will administer the euthanasia solution. This will cause your pet's heart to stop in a matter of seconds. When your pet passes away, we'll let you know.
