Why Plan Ahead?

Planning ahead ensures you and your pet are prepared for every stage of their journey, from maintaining comfort to making informed decisions about their care and final moments. Proactively exploring your options can provide clarity, peace of mind, and the ability to make thoughtful choices when they matter most.
 

Exploring Options for Your Pet's Care
Planning ahead isn’t just about end-of-life decisions—it also means ensuring that you’ve considered all reasonable options to support your pet’s comfort and well-being. If you’re feeling uncertain, one of our virtual consultations may help you gain clarity and confidence:

• Comfort Care (Pathway Consultations): Learn how tailored palliative care strategies can help manage your pet’s condition, ensuring they can enjoy more quality time with you.

• Quality-of-Life Assessments (Crossroads Consultations): Understand how to evaluate your pet’s well-being and navigate one of the most difficult decisions with expert guidance.

Benefits of Planning Ahead for End-of-Life Care

Planning ahead for your pet’s end-of-life care ensures that you can focus on cherishing your time together without the stress of last-minute decisions. The benefits of proactive planning include:

​

• Peace of Mind: Knowing your pet’s needs and your wishes are documented can reduce uncertainty when the time comes.

• Streamlined Support: Advanced preparation allows us to create a file with as much paperwork completed as possible, ensuring we can assist you more effectively.

• Flexibility: A prepared plan allows us to better accommodate your needs, even during more urgent situations.

• Cost Savings: Families who plan ahead are eligible for a reduction in our Urgent Care/Same-Day Appointment fee.

While planning ahead gives you peace of mind, it’s important to know that we are not an emergency service. However, having your information on file allows us to assist you more efficiently and accommodate your needs as best as we can.
