End of Life Care

Does your pet suffer from a chronic illness that’s diminishing his or her quality of life? Are you concerned that your elderly pet is experiencing too much pain? Are you struggling to care for your terminally ill animal companion?

As loving pet parents, we would all love to see our companions live as long as we do. Unfortunately, these precious souls are only with us for a finite amount of time. As such, it’s important that we take appropriate measures to ensure that the end of that time is spent as happily and painlessly as possible.

The hospice care services at Markham Veterinary Clinic are designed to help extend those final days while also relieving pain and reducing suffering. We recognize that, as difficult as it is to say goodbye to a loved one, deciding when to do so can be even harder. Our compassionate team will be there to explain your options and help you make those tough decisions.

We also want you to know that, when that time does come, we’ll be right by your side. We know exactly what you’re going through, because each one of us has been in your shoes. Rest assured that your pet will be treated with the utmost compassion and given the opportunity to cross the Rainbow Bridge with dignity and peace.

Are you struggling with end of life decisions for your terminally ill or elderly pet? Perhaps you’re just curious about how hospice care works and whether it would be a good fit for your situation. In either case, we encourage you to pick up the phone and contact us. We’re here to help make this difficult time a little bit easier.
