Caring By Comforting

Pet hospice care looks different for every pet.

It may include:

  • Testing to look for a manageable disease or condition
  • Medication to relieve underlying discomfort
  • Medication to help improve appetite and reduce nausea
  • Special food and supplements to calm the stomach and improve weight
  • Vitamins and supplements to improve overall health and function
  • Home environment modification to help prevent slips and falls

If you're concerned about your pet's condition and need help making decisions about their care, please contact Lakeland Animal Care at (574) 309-9729. Our knowledgeable and caring team is here to assist you.

Making A Loving Decision

Knowing when it's time to make a loving, but a very difficult decision can be overwhelming. To make the decision making and experience a little less difficult, our care team is here to walk with you every step of the way.

The Right Time

When hospice care is no longer effective or maybe hospice is not the right path, our care team is here to support you. Our goal is to alleviate your pet's pain and suffering by looking at their Quality of Life:

  • How is your pet's appetite?
  • Are they able to walk or get around unassisted?
  • Are they experiencing any pain?
  • Any problems with vomiting or diarrhea?
  • Is your pet lethargic and hiding more?
  • Do they seem like they still enjoy life?
  • Having any accidents around the house?

A Peaceful Experience

We take every little detail into consideration during the euthanasia process. No matter how small it may seem. It's important to us that your pet's end-of-life journey is as meaningful as the life they lived. We are committed to talking you through each step. To helping your beloved friend be comfortable. To gently caring for them. To creating a relaxing environment for everyone. We care for every possible need so you can focus on loving your beloved pet. You sit by their side. Cradle them in your loving arms. They can rest peacefully.
