End of Life Pet Care

End-of-life care is to support your pet’s comfort, quality of life, and compassionate decision-making.

End-of-Life Care for Pets

End-of-life care focuses on keeping your pet comfortable and supported during their final stage of life. We provide end-of-life care, including pain management, hospice support, and humane euthanasia when needed.

We understand this is a difficult time, and our goal is to guide you through decisions with clear information and a focus on your pet’s comfort and dignity.

What End-of-Life Care Includes

  • Pain management to keep your pet comfortable

  • Hospice care for pets with chronic or terminal conditions

  • Quality of life assessments to help guide decisions

  • Humane euthanasia when it is the most appropriate option

We work with you to create a plan based on your pet’s condition and your family’s needs.

Cremation Services

After your pet has passed, cremation services provide a respectful way to handle final arrangements. We can help coordinate cremation and guide you through available options.

  • Individual cremation with return of ashes

  • Communal cremation options

  • Guidance on memorial choices if desired

We’ll explain each option clearly so you can choose what feels right for your family.

Support and Guidance

We’ll help you understand what to expect and talk through options so you can make informed decisions. Our team is here to provide support and answer questions throughout the process.

End-of-life care is centered on comfort, respect, and helping your pet avoid unnecessary pain.

If you have concerns about your pet’s quality of life or want to discuss next steps, schedule a visit and we’ll help you navigate this process with care.

FAQs

We have provided some answers to our most common questions.

By Oregon law, a licensed veterinarian must have a valid Veterinary-Client-Patient relationship with you and your animal to provide veterinary services. A valid VCPR cannot be established online, via e-mail, or over the phone. It can only be established by a veterinarian performing a physical examination of your animal. This means that the veterinarian has seen the animal within the last year and is personally acquainted with the care of the animal by virtue of a physical examination of the animal or by medically appropriate and timely visits to the premises where the animal is kept. A VCPR must be in place for a veterinarian to be able to legally provide treatment, prescribe medications, or administer vaccines to an animal. The veterinarian must have examined the animal within the last year to establish the VCPR.
