We know how hard it is to watch your pet grow older or when they aren’t feeling well. Our compassionate veterinarians provide in-home Quality-of-Life consultations and hospice care for aging and ill pets in need of extra support.
Our veterinarians will visit your pet in your home, which can be especially helpful for older pets and pets with mobility issues. That means less stress for you and them.
For older pets and pets in need of extra support, receiving veterinary care in the comfort and familiarity of home is a huge benefit.
Our veterinarians are better able to evaluate and create the best plan for your pet by visiting them where they are most comfortable - at home.
We know traveling to the veterinary clinic can be tiring and stressful for pets (and their parents) and that’s why we come to you!
When you schedule a Quality-of-Life Consultation at home, you can have peace of mind knowing that it will be an emotionally supportive environment for both you and your pet.
If you have concerns about your pet’s comfort level, mobility, or health condition, a Quality-of-Life Consultation can help you determine what kinds of care they need.
Our expert veterinarians can help guide your care decisions for older pets and pets with ongoing and terminal illnesses.
Our veterinary team will evaluate your pet’s pain level and mobility and help make the best plan for their long-term care.
For pets approaching the last stages of life, we can provide palliative care as well as guidance and support if the time has come for them to cross the rainbow bridge.
From the start to the finish of your appointment, our supportive veterinary team will work with you to create a care plan to keep your pet comfortable as long as possible.
During your in-home visit, your veterinarian will examine your pet as well as discuss your pet’s history and current unique needs.
Since pets cannot use words to tell us how they are feeling, our experienced veterinarians will work with you to determine what kind of care they need. Your input and feelings are paramount in making the best plan for your pet.
Quality-of-life care, also called pet hospice care, is focused on keeping your pet as comfortable as possible for as long as possible at home. The comfort measures your local BetterVet team can provide include:
Pain Management
Nutritional Changes
Subcutaneous Fluids
Disease Process Education
Mobility Aid
Incontinence Management
The goal of a Quality-of-Life Consultation is to gain a better understanding of your pet’s health and prepare for what lies ahead. We are here to support you and your decisions every step of the way.
Our mobile veterinarians examine pets in their favorite spot - a comfy couch, a cozy pet bed, or even your lap! See how we work to keep pets relaxed and happy at home.
I've had pets (cats and dogs) my entire life. Robin and Melissa are hands down the best vets by far. I've had an age range of cats over the past couple years, and two of my geriatric cats had complex and difficult diagnoses and Robin and Melissa supported my cats and greatly extended and improved their quality of life.
