Peaceful Passage Palliative & End of Life Care for Pets

 

 

Palliative Care

Palliative care is a special kind of care that focuses on the quality of life for pets who are experiencing an advanced, life-limiting illness and their care-givers. Through palliative care, we can provide compassionate care for pets in the last phases of incurable disease so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. Our palliative care program offers caring and low stress support for family pets with advanced arthritis, cancer, or other quality of life challenges. We offer care to the communities of Incline Village, Tahoe City, Tahoe Vista, Kings Beach, West Shore, and Truckee.

 

Palliative Care Pricing

Palliative Care is personalized care-our initial consultation fee is $300. During our initial consultation, we will discuss care options that may include a Quality of Life consultation, recommended medical evaluations and a home care plan. Our services range from patient evaluation to supportive education and home care visits. Please call us to discuss options for your pet. 

  

End of Life Care

Compassionate euthanasia allows us to peacefully bring our pet's life to a close in a comfortable and respectful way. While some families prefer the extra support of a hospital environment for their animal family member, others may prefer their home environment, or to have this transition occur at a special location such as a favorite meadow.

Whether your preference is an in-hospital house-call, or destination euthanasia, we are here for you and will do all in our power to create a peaceful and low stress transition.

 

Scheduling

We offer flexible scheduling, typically within one or two days' notice, including weekends and holidays.
