End of Life Concerns & Questions
How will I know when it’s time?
Is my pet suffering or in pain?
Is there more I should do?
Am I being selfish?
How can I prepare myself and my family?
What will happen to my pet’s body afterwards?
When a beloved pet is diagnosed with a chronic debilitating condition or a terminal disease, these are the questions that consume our thoughts as we try to make the appropriate decisions for our furry family members.
Our goal at Creature Comforts is to walk pet owners through the heart wrenching decision-making process of how to best care for their pets until the end. The conversation begins with the first phone call, text or email- a pet owner reaching out for guidance, a second opinion, or validation of a decision already made. Dr. Dale and her husband Richard lend an open ear, a perspective on quality of life, pain and suffering, and a clear view of the remaining available options.
When euthanasia is the chosen path we provide a peaceful, dignified, and private passing respectful of all requests of the family. Pet owners are demanding a more dignified approach to a pet’s final experience and many choose to take an active role in the process. We are honored to partner with you and hold your hand through this transition. Dr. Dale received her certification in pet hospice and palliative care in 2017 and has over 30 years of experience in the veterinary field.
“Death is a moment, but dying is a process. We’re not shortening their life, we’re shortening their dying process. We can’t change the destination, but we can make the journey peaceful and even beautiful.”
