End-of-Life Care
Help them remain comfortable and happy in their later years.
At PetNest Animal Hospital, we understand that
your dog or cat is an important member of your family.
They share unconditional love and have remained faithfully by your side through good times and bad. Unfortunately, the time will come when you have to say goodbye. As much as we’d all like our pets to remain by our sides forever, companion animals have lives that are much shorter than our own. While you likely do not want to think about your pet getting old or developing a chronic illness, it’s crucial to know how to help them remain comfortable and happy in their later years.
Whether they have a terminal illness or are nearing the end of their lifespan, you can return the favor of the love your pet has given you by providing appropriate end-of-life care. We offer compassionate end-of-life services for pets in Frisco and the surrounding areas and are here to keep your pet comfortable as they near the end.
Pet Hospice Care
Can Help Your Friend
If your pet is older or suffering from a serious illness, hospice care can help them remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the final weeks and days of their life. Pain management is an integral part of this, and we may suggest medications or recommend dietary changes, exercise, therapy, or other services. Our veterinarians are here to help you do what’s right for your four-legged best friend.
Pet Euthanasia
When the time comes to say goodbye, euthanasia is a gentle, pain-free way to end your pet’s life. Pets do not feel any fear or discomfort during the procedure, and we are here to help pet parents decide when the time is right. We understand that having a pet put to sleep is emotionally painful and will be by your side every step of the way.
