End of Life Care

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most heart-wrenching experiences a pet owner will face. This journey is filled with difficult decisions, but your primary goal is to ensure your companion’s final days are filled with comfort, dignity, and love. At Campet, we are here to support you through this sensitive time.

Understanding your pet’s quality of life is the first step. Look for changes in their daily habits: Are they still enjoying their favorite activities? Are they eating, drinking, and able to move without significant pain? A quality of life scale, often used by veterinarians, can help you make a more objective assessment. Palliative or “hospice” care focuses on managing symptoms and minimizing discomfort, allowing you to cherish your remaining time together in a peaceful home environment.

When comfort can no longer be provided, euthanasia offers a gentle and painless passing. This is a deeply personal decision, made out of profound love to end suffering. The process is typically calm and peaceful, allowing you to be with your pet as they pass. Remember, grieving the loss of a pet is a valid and necessary process. Allow yourself time to mourn, and consider reaching out to pet loss support groups. Your love for them was real, and so is the pain of their absence.
