End of Life Care
At Sunnybrook Mobile Vet we understand that saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult things we have to do as pet owners. It is our privilege to be able to provide compassionate and individualized end of life services to honour your pet and make this transition as peaceful as possible.
Why choose in-home end of life care?
Being able to provide end of life services in our clients' homes is truly one of the greatest gifts we are afforded in the veterinary profession. We strive to make this difficult time as peaceful as possible for you and your beloved pet.
There are many reasons why in-home end of life care may be the right choice for your pet.
-
It allows for a more private and personalized goodbye
-
Allowing for multiple family members to be present (including other pets)
-
Reduced stress for pets that suffer from cognitive impairment, mobility issues, aggression or other conditions that may be triggered at the veterinary hospital
-
Saying goodbye in a controlled environment, such as a pet's favourite spot in the house
-
Not having to feel rushed during this most important time
-
Reduced stress for pet guardians - not having to worry about transporting your pet and comfortably spending your last moments together in their safe haven, home
