Navigating the end-of-life process can be a challenging chapter in your pet’s life as well as your own.
At VSOS, we’re proud to introduce our Hospice and Palliative Care service, providing compassionate support tailored to ensure you and your cherished companions receive comfort and support during this tender phase of their lives.
“The goal of hospice and palliative care it to address all the physical, psychosocial, spiritual and practical burdens placed by serious illness on the patient and family.”
A hospice or palliative care appointment differs from a regular vet visit by emphasizing comfort care over curative measures. Our primary focus is to address any sources of pain or discomfort your pet may experience and assist you in preparing for the later stages of care.
Hospice care has a focus on creating care programs based on comfort rather than curative measures, acknowledging a point in a pet’s journey where curative options are no longer viable or if treatment side effects potentially outweigh the benefits.
Palliative care embodies compassionate comfort, whether or not curative measures are pursued. Its purpose is to alleviate discomfort, address symptoms, and ease the emotional burden for the pet at any point throughout their illness, offering solace, support and guidance for both caregivers and pets during their journey.
