The most important thing you can do for your elderly pet is to minimize any pain or distress he or she may be experiencing.

Here at Catoctin Vet we provide hospice care as an option if your pet is suffering from a terminal illness and a cure is not possible. The goal is to make your pet’s final days or weeks more pleasant with the proper use of pain medications, dietary strategies and human interaction.

When you and your family decide that euthanasia is the best option, we will be here for you and your pet during this difficult time. Every pet’s situation is different. When your pet nears the end, it is important to consider your pet’s whole quality of life before making your decision. Euthanasia provides a painless, peaceful end for a pet. 

Losing a pet can be a very difficult process and we’re here to help any way we can. Please call us for more information about our end of life pet care.
