The Importance of an In-Home Pet Hospice

If your pet has been diagnosed with a terminal diagnosis, it does not mean that euthanasia is the only option. A way that you can meet the end-of-life needs of your pet is through an in-home pet hospice.  While the term is borrowed from the human hospice, it is different in that this type of veterinary care focuses on the comfort of your pet rather than finding cure for her disease.

The goal of the in-home pet hospice is to bring quality of life and comfort to a pet that is terminally ill until it dies naturally or is given euthanasia. This option can be chosen where you feel that there is no need to pursues additional therapies and diagnostics. After diagnosing the terminal illness in a pet, you should discuss with your family the best course of action. You should understand whether there is a family member who wants to assist, whether there is a person who can dedicate time to the care of the pet and the financial resources that are available. You will also need to decide early whether you will choose euthanasia or you will play a role in the natural dying of the pet when the right time comes.

In case, you choose to wait for the natural death of the pet, an in-house hospice care will be necessary. This will not only help to manage the pain but to also meet the needs of the pet up to the end. However, you should also realize that this kind of hospice care can be very involving and will require the involvement of all members of the family.
