What is companion animal hospice?
Hospice care for pets is very similar to the in-home medical care available for terminally ill people. The goal of Caring Pathways in-home pet hospice care is to provide appropriate nursing care tailored specifically to your pet’s needs in the comfort of your home. The goal is to help your pet maintain a good quality of life while managing pain, and keeping them comfortable. A Caring Pathways Veterinarian will perform a medical consultation assessment exam to determine the best treatment plan for your pet, and to determine if hospice care is the best decision for you and your pet. We will then teach you how to administer pain medication, provide fluid therapy, change bandages, and perform general nursing duties at home to allow the terminally ill pet to be as comfortable as possible. Not only will the Caring Pathways team be supporting you through the medical care of your pet, we will also be helping you to assess your pet’s quality of life and help you to prepare for your pet’s passin
