Pet Euthanasia
Making decisions about end-of-life care for your beloved pet can be some of the hardest choices you’ll make.
For gentle guidance and compassionate support, come to Redlands Animal Hospital in Redlands, CA. Our team will make sure you and your pet feel comforted and respected throughout this time with quality-of-life consultations, hospice care, and, when the time comes, peaceful euthanasia in a serene setting.
Quality-of-Life Consultations: Is the Time Right?
Evaluating your pet’s quality of life is a sensitive yet important part of making end-of-life decisions. Our veterinarians can conduct a quality-of-life exam to assess your pet’s comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. During this exam, we will discuss any changes in your pet’s condition and help you determine the best way forward if your pet’s condition cannot be medically managed. We’re here to answer your questions and support you as you consider your pet’s needs and quality of life.
Supporting Your Pet’s Final Days with Hospice Care
For pets who may not yet need euthanasia but require supportive care to manage their symptoms, we offer hospice care, also called palliative care. Our goal is to keep your pet comfortable, providing treatments that manage pain and improve their quality of life in their remaining time. Hospice care can include medications, dietary guidance, lifestyle change suggestions, and supportive therapies that address your pet’s physical and emotional needs. Our team will work closely with you to develop a palliative care plan that will work for your family and your pet, making this stage as peaceful as possible.
