How We Support You and Your Pet
Every family’s journey is different. That’s why our approach to pet end-of-life care is highly personalized and centered around your pet’s comfort and your emotional needs.
Our services include:
- Quality of life assessments to help you determine the best course of action
- In-clinic euthanasia in a calm, quiet setting
- Coordination with cremation and memorial services
- Compassionate guidance and grief support resources
If we have not seen your pet within the last six months, we may recommend our evaluation to ensure the timing is appropriate and compassionate.
We also encourage families to use the Lap of Love Quality of Life Assessment—a helpful tool designed to aid in making this deeply personal decision.
