End of Life CareHere at Mt. Horeb Animal Hospital we have one common goal between our clients and our staff, that is compassionate patient care and quality of life. There comes a time in every pet’s life that this quality of life discussion becomes about the most caring and humane way to say goodbye. Our staff is open and willing to have an honest discussion about your pet’s care and what steps need to be taken to keep them comfortable. A common question at the practice is knowing when it is time to schedule that final appointment. Being able to evaluate when the bad days outweigh the good days can be an initial assessment. We want to keep our pets as comfortable as possible through all aspects of life. When you are ready to discuss this decision further or schedule an appointment with us, we are available by phone or by email here at the clinic.
When it comes to aftercare for your pet, there are many options to consider. These include taking your pet home with you for burial, group cremation or private cremation. More detailed explanations of cremation options can be found on the link below.
