Hospice care for pets

[Catherine]

A veterinary team in Texas has created a service to help pets and their families with end of life care.
They will come to the home when it is time and euthanize the pet in its own surroundings with its family around it.

They go further. They take palliative care to the home and have a clinic that provides support services for geriatric pets.

This is a valuable and compassionate service. Many humans find the need of seeking medical help outside the home, very tiring and stressful. If some of the services are available at home it helps ease the strain. Bringing services to a pet in the home makes the last months more peaceful and more comfortable. 

They provide support for those who, have lost pets as well. This is a very caring and loving approach to the end of life situations we face with our pets. 
I hope the idea spreads to other cities. Even having some of these services would help people face the end of a pet's life in peace.
