We understand.

Knowing if quality of life remains for your pet is not always clear or easy.

Our consultations provide the time needed to discuss your pet's quality of life in a supportive and non-hurried and manner.

We take into consideration your goals while helping you navigate the complex decisions you are faced with.

How it works.

Our in-home Quality of Life consults are 90-minutes in length and can be scheduled with either our hospice vet or nurse, depending on your needs (see our FAQ below).

Our comprehensive consultations will address your pet's current care and quality of life in a way that is holistic and complete, so you can make informed decisions.

“Our first meeting was a thorough in-home assessment with Dr. Kara who got to know Jack and explained everything to us in great detail. She shared helpful visual references and took the time to listen and answer all of our questions. She sensed what we needed and when - a gentle process handled with great sensitivity."
