Pet Hospice Care: Comfort, Dignity, and Compassion



Our hospice services focus on maintaining comfort and quality of life when a cure is no longer possible. During this time, our veterinarians work closely with families to manage pain, ease symptoms, and support emotional well-being for both pets and their people.

We develop personalized care plans that may include medications, nutritional support, mobility aids, and comfort strategies for home. Every recommendation is designed to reduce pain and anxiety while maintaining dignity and closeness for your pet during their final weeks or months.

At Andrews Veterinary Hospital, we believe hospice care is about love, presence, and compassion—not just medical management. Our team provides guidance and gentle reassurance to help you make the most of each remaining day with your pet.

Pet Euthanasia: A Peaceful and Respectful Goodbye

When a pet’s quality of life declines, and comfort becomes difficult to maintain, euthanasia can be the kindest choice to prevent further suffering. Our veterinarians provide this service with the utmost care, privacy, and empathy—giving every family the time and space they need to say goodbye.

Our Gentle Approach

When you arrive, our team will greet you and offer a quiet, private space where you can spend time with your pet. We’ll take the time to explain each step, answer your questions, and make sure you feel ready before beginning.

The process starts with a sedative or strong pain medication that helps your pet relax into a calm, restful sleep. Once your pet is fully comfortable, a veterinarian will administer the final injection through an IV catheter. This process is painless and peaceful—your pet simply drifts into a deeper sleep before passing gently within moments.

You are welcome to stay with your pet for the entire process or step out at any time. Our staff will always respect your wishes and provide as much time as you need before and after.
