Senior Pet Hospice Care – Comfort, Dignity, and Compassion
Senior Hospice Care for Pets
Providing Comfort, Dignity, and Quality of Life for Aging Pets
As pets age, their needs begin to change. Many animals develop chronic conditions, mobility challenges, or reduced appetite, and some may experience discomfort that affects their quality of life. At Greener Pastures Hospice Care, our focus is on comfort, pain management, and compassionate support for senior pets and their families.
Whether your pet is entering their golden years or requires additional care due to illness, our veterinary team is here to help provide a peaceful and meaningful end-of-life journey.
Senior Pet Hospice Care and Quality-of-Life Support
Supporting comfort, dignity, and quality of life for aging pets.
Cats and dogs often hide their pain or illness. Many pet owners are unaware of health problems until the symptoms become advanced. Proactive hospice care plays a crucial role in identifying and managing these changes early.
We help by:
• Monitoring health and comfort
• Managing pain and chronic conditions
• Supporting appetite and mobility
• Guiding families through difficult decisions
Our approach focuses on improving quality of life, reducing fear, and allowing pets to remain as comfortable as possible during their final stage of life.
To help your pet remain healthy and comfortable, our veterinarians recommend:
Twice-Yearly Exams
Senior pets should be examined every six months. Regular checkups allow us to track weight, muscle condition, mobility, and behavior changes that may indicate discomfort or illness.
Comprehensive Laboratory Testing
Routine diagnostics can detect conditions before they become severe. We often recommend:
• Complete blood work
• Urinalysis
• Thyroid testing when needed
These tests help us identify kidney disease, liver changes, diabetes, cancer, thyroid disorders, and more.
Nutritional Support
Older pets benefit from a well-balanced senior diet tailored to their age and health needs. Many pets eat less as they age, so tracking appetite and body weight is essential. Our team can recommend diets that support mobility, digestion, and overall comfort.
Arthritis and Pain Management
Joint pain is common in older pets. Our veterinarians offer multiple options to help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and relieve discomfort. With proper treatment, many pets regain their enthusiasm, activity, and quality of life.
Caring for a senior or terminally ill pet is emotional and often overwhelming. We walk with you during every step, helping you make informed decisions about your pet’s care, treatment options, and comfort at home.
If you ever have concerns about your senior pet, our compassionate team is here to guide you, answer your questions, and provide support tailored to your family’s needs.
