Palliative, Esthesia, and Aftercare

Palliative care is a philosophy that relinquishes the pursuit of curative treatment. We all want more time with our loved ones, but in palliative care, the focus is often less on the number of days than it is on the number of good days.

For our furry family members, many of life’s pleasures that constitute a “good day” are very much linked to their bodily systems. As their mobility, appetite, social ability, hygiene, and breathing decline, their ability to enjoy walks, treats, and companionship also diminishes.

In veterinary medicine, there is also the option of compassionate euthanasia when considering quality of life. Our Facility is equipped with a cozy “Rainbow Room”, dedicated to making your pet’s passing as comfortable as possible for the whole family. It is completely separate from the exam rooms and each clinic has a separate exit so that you do not have to return to the front lobby once your little one has passed. we can guide you through the options for aftercare, which may include cremation and/or memorial items.

We have to treat our furry family members with the same dignity and respect in death as we do in life; trusting us to assist with their passing is a responsibility we do not take lightly. If at any time you would like to learn more about euthanasia and aftercare, our team would be honored to assist you.

At Whiskers and Wags Veterinary Clinic, we understand how much you cherish your furry companions and the importance of ensuring their health and happiness. That’s why our dedicated team of veterinary professionals is here to provide Palliative, Esthesia, and aftercare​ ​services tailored to your beloved animals’ unique needs.
