End of Life Pet Care

Quality of life is a term that comes into the conversation when a pet is nearing the end of their life or experiencing an illness. There are several ways to assess quality of life but it is very important to remember that you and your family are the experts when it comes to your pet. Discussing quality of life issues with other people who love your pet can be very helpful and Including children in discussions can be particularly helpful to them as they process what is happening to their dear pet.

“I don’t think my pet is in pain.”
We spend so much time with our pets that sometimes we don’t recognize how their behavior or bodies have changed because those changes are so subtle and change slowly over time. This can sometimes create the impression that our pet is not experiencing pain. Which is why it is so important to assess pain in an objective way.
