Compassionate Support When It Matters Most
Pet End-of-Life & Hospice Care
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest decisions a pet owner can face. At Newark Veterinary Hospital, we understand the emotional weight of this journey and are here to offer gentle guidance, compassion, and care through every step. Our end-of-life and hospice care services are designed to provide comfort for pets and support for the families who love them.
What Is Pet Hospice Care?
Hospice care is focused on maintaining a pet’s comfort and quality of life in their final days, weeks, or months. When a cure is no longer possible or appropriate, our team works closely with you to develop a care plan that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and dignity.
Pet Hospice Care Includes
- Pain management
- Nutritional support
- Hydration therapy
- Assistance with mobility
- Regular quality-of-life assessments
We provide honest communication about your pet’s condition and help you navigate decisions with compassion and respect.
Euthanasia
When the time comes, euthanasia may be the kindest choice to prevent unnecessary suffering. We offer humane, peaceful euthanasia services in a quiet, private space at our hospital. Our team ensures your pet’s final moments are calm, comfortable, and surrounded by love.
We also support you through the decision-making process with transparency and empathy. You’ll never be rushed, and we’re here to answer your questions with compassion and clarity.
Memorial Options & Aftercare
We understand how important it is to honor your pet’s memory in a meaningful way. Our team can help guide you through cremation services and keepsake options, such as urns, paw prints, or memorial items. We also provide grief resources to help you and your family begin healing.
Helping You Prepare
Making end-of-life decisions is never easy. If you’re unsure whether it’s time, we offer quality-of-life consultations to help evaluate your pet’s comfort, mobility, appetite, and overall wellbeing. These conversations can bring clarity and peace of mind.
You’re Not Alone
Our team is here to support you before, during, and after your pet’s passing. We’ve walked this path with many families and we’ll be honored to walk it with you too.
