Hospice and Euthanasia Services

Veterinary Hospice & Palliative Care

Veterinary hospice care focuses on providing comfort, dignity, and quality of life for pets facing terminal illness, chronic disease, or advanced age. Rather than pursuing curative treatment, hospice and palliative care are designed to manage pain and symptoms while supporting both pets and their families during a difficult time.

At Sky Canyon Veterinary Hospital, our hospice services are tailored to your pet’s individual needs and may include:

  • Pain management and comfort care

  • Medication adjustments and monitoring

  • Nutritional support

  • Mobility assistance and quality-of-life assessments

  • Guidance on end-of-life decision-making

  • Emotional support for families

Our veterinary team works closely with pet owners to help recognize changes in comfort and quality of life, ensuring that your pet remains as comfortable and supported as possible.

Humane Veterinary Euthanasia

Veterinary euthanasia is a peaceful and humane way to help a pet pass comfortably when illness, injury, or age has significantly impacted quality of life. Making the decision to say goodbye is one of the most difficult choices a pet parent can face, and our team is here to support you with compassion, respect, and understanding.

At Sky Canyon Veterinary Hospital, euthanasia is performed with care and dignity in a calm, private environment. Our veterinarians focus on ensuring your pet experiences no pain or distress, while giving families the time and space they need to say goodbye.

Our euthanasia services include:

  • Compassionate end-of-life consultations

  • Quality-of-life assessments and guidance

  • Gentle, humane euthanasia procedures

  • Supportive care before, during, and after the appointment

We are honored to support you through this emotional time and help you make the most loving decision for your pet.

If you have questions about veterinary euthanasia or feel it may be time to discuss end-of-life care, please contact Sky Canyon Veterinary Hospital. We are here for you and your pet.
