End-Of-Life Veterinary Care
End of life veterinary care for pets, also known as hospice care, focuses on providing comfort, dignity, and quality of life for your pet in their final days. Our compassionate care includes pain management, palliative treatments and guidance on keeping your pet comfortable and pain-free. Our goal is to ensure your pet has a peaceful and pain-free transition while honoring the bond between you and your pet.Knowing When It Is Time to Say Goodbye
We will also help you decide when to say goodbye to your pet. This can be one of the hardest choices a pet owner can face, and we are here with you every step of the way. We believe a key indicator is their quality of life—if they are in persistent pain, have difficulty breathing, refuse to eat or drink, or can no longer enjoy daily activities, it may be time to consider euthanasia. Signs such as incontinence, loss of mobility, confusion, or isolation can also indicate a decline in your pet’s quality of life. We have assessments and baseline indications to help guide your decision. Ultimately, choosing to say goodbye is an act of love, ensuring your pet does not suffer unnecessarily and can pass peacefully and with dignity.
Euthanasia for Pets
At Johnson City Veterinary Clinic, we think of euthanasia as an important life event, not just a medical procedure. We strive to make it as peaceful and positive of an experience as possible.
Pet euthanasia is a compassionate decision made to prevent suffering when a pet’s quality of life has significantly declined due to illness, injury, or old age. The process is gentle and painless, performed with sedation to ensure a peaceful passing. While saying goodbye is heartbreaking, euthanasia is an act of love that spares pets from unnecessary pain, allowing them to pass with dignity and be surrounded by those who love them most.
