Compassionate End-of-Life Care for Your Beloved Pet

Saying goodbye to a cherished pet is one of the hardest decisions you’ll ever face, and we’re here to provide compassionate care and guidance. At Kestrel Veterinary Hospital, we understand the profound bond you share with your pet, and our team is here to support you during this challenging time.

Hospice Care and Quality of Life Guidance

If you’re unsure about your pet’s quality of life, we encourage you to schedule a quality-of-life consultation. We’ll work together to assess their comfort and determine the best course of action. Our goal is to prioritize your pet’s comfort and to help you feel informed and supported while making these challenging decisions.

A Peaceful and Private Goodbye

If you decide euthanasia is the best option for your pet’s needs, our veterinary team can help provide your pet with a peaceful goodbye. Dr Hough, a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian (CPEV) through the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy (CAETA), is committed to providing compassionate hospice and end-of-life care.

Humane euthanasia is a selfless act of love when your pet’s quality of life has declined. Dr. Hough and our team take great care to ensure the process is peaceful and painless for your pet. We’ll explain every step of the process so you feel prepared and supported during this difficult time.

  • Private Room: We’ve designed a serene, private space to give you the time and privacy you need.
  • A Candle of Remembrance: A lit candle in the lobby signifies that a family is saying goodbye to their beloved companion, allowing others to maintain a respectful atmosphere.
  • A Special Goodbye for Your Pet: To make your pet’s last moments as loving as possible, we offer a variety of treats—like chocolate kisses, peanut butter, and other goodies—so you can spoil them one last time.

Support for Grieving Pet Owners

We understand that grief is a personal journey, and we’re here for your family as you navigate this difficult time. If you need additional support, we can connect you with grief support resources to help in your time of loss. We offer individual and communal cremation services with a variety of memorial keepsake options that honor your pet’s memory.

You don’t have to face this alone. We are here to guide, comfort, and support you through every step of the end-of-life process. Whether it’s discussing quality-of-life options, planning a peaceful goodbye, or finding resources to help you heal, we are here for you.

Reach out today to learn more about how we can be there for you and your pet.
