End of life care

​​​As pets grow older, their needs can change in subtle and sometimes significant ways.

 

Planning for your pet’s later life isn’t just practical, it’s one of the most caring things you can do.

 

With the right support, many pets enjoy comfortable, happy senior years.

Planning for your pet's later years

Regular health checks

More frequent vet visits help catch issues early, from arthritis to organ changes.

Comfort-focused treatment

We focus on quality of life, pain relief, and maintaining good mobility.

Home adaptations

Ramps, rugs, or raised bowls can make a big difference.

Nutritional support

Diets can be adjusted for kidney function, weight, or joint care.

Monitoring tools

Pain scoring, mobility charts, or even simple observation diaries can guide decisions.

We’re here to guide you through these stages at your pet’s pace, not ours.

When it's time to say goodbye

Talking about euthanasia is never easy, but it’s a vital part of end-of-life planning.

 

Knowing what to expect can ease anxiety and help you feel more in control when the time comes.

We’ll never rush this conversation.

 

Instead, we’ll support you with:

Honest, gentle guidance about your pet’s quality of life

A discussion about the actual euthanasia process if you would like to talk through it.

A calm, private space for the procedure when you’re ready

The option to stay with your pet, or say goodbye beforehand

Support with cremation and aftercare choices

Grief support resources

If you're unsure whether it’s time, we can schedule a quality of life consultation to help you assess things more clearly.

We are happy to talk you through the euthanasia procedure in advance, so that you and your family, can have time to understand and process the enormity of the situation.
