Resources for Pet Families

It's normal to have questions about your pet's care.

When supporting your pet in advanced illness, being able to assess their pain levels and overall quality of life is important for both you and your pet's care team.

As you approach end-of-life, you may have questions about choosing the most appropriate time for euthanasia or what to expect during an in-home euthanasia.

And for those struggling following the loss of their pet, we have both downloadable resources and links to a number of support groups that can offer valuable help.

We also have answers to some of the most frequently asked questions, helpful links, and a 'lending library' of items that may be helpful for pets in palliative care.

Plan Ahead

For Peace of Mind

Preparing in advance helps families feel more at ease and allows us to be as prepared as possible to assist when the time comes.

While it doesn’t guarantee availability at a specific moment, pre-planning helps us better coordinate to provide care when you need it most.

There’s no obligation—just a thoughtful step toward readiness.

We strive to accommodate appointment requests with 2–3 days' notice.
Next-day or same-day appointments may be available during business hours, but may be limited.

Please note: We are closed on weekends and will respond to inquiries received outside of business hours as soon as possible during the next business day.

For urgent matters, please call our office at 289-987-7297 to speak with us during business hours. If you require emergency services, please contact your local Veterinary Emergency Clinic
