HOSPICE CARE FOR YOUR PET

Hospice care is an option if your pet is suffering from a terminal illness where there are no curative options or treatment side effects outweigh the benefits. The goal is to make a pet's final weeks or months more pleasant.     

 

Palliative care begins at diagnosis of a serious illness and uses a combination of Western and TCVM medicine to stop suffering and help both the animal and care giver manage the disease.  

​

To help make the pet more comfortable we are able to offer a variety options. 

  • We offer alternative care such as acupuncture, PEMF, herbs and supplements

  • We can prescribe appropriate pain medication 

  • We can offer suggestions, supplements or medications that can help stimulate appetite

  • We talk about mobility support equipment and how to prepare your home properly 

  • Administration of subcutaneous fluids and vitamin B12

  • Bandaging or chronic wound care

Our hospice service includes a full history, exam, consultation and first treatment with Dr. Amanda.  A hospice plan is presented to the owner and might include any of the above treatment options. We also talk about how to evaluate the quality of life. This visit is $300 and includes 2 hours of doctor time.  If herbs, supplements, medications are prescribed those would be additional. This also includes one follow-up email to check on pet and make any changes to plan as needed . 

IN-HOME EUTHANASIA

In-home euthanasia allows you to say good bye to your beloved pet in the comfort of your home, surrounded by loved ones.  A mild sedative is given to relax the pet and make them comfortable before the final injection is given. This service is $350 + after care charges. 

After Care is provided by Tacoma Mausoleum & Mortuary in Tacoma.
