What Our Clients Say
Our Services
We are proud to be your trusted in-home veterinary care provider serving senior, geriatric, and terminally-ill pets. We consist of a team of over 20 veterinarians who will travel to your home from Castle Rock to Fort Collins, providing end-of-life pet care services. We are available 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Palliative and Comfort Care Assessments
An initial assessment appointment is completely focused on maximizing your pet’s comfort and quality of life. Our hospice veterinarians assess your pet’s current health challenges, pain levels, quality-of-life indicators, and your family’s specific concerns for their care.
In-Home Quality-of-Life Assessments
One of our end-of-life care veterinary experts will evaluate your beloved pet in the comfort and privacy of your home to help you make the best and informed decision for your pet.
TeleAdvice Appointments
A TeleAdvice appointment with one of our highly-skilled veterinary professionals will facilitate virtual face-to-face in-depth conversations to help you better understand the quality of your pet’s life and your care options moving forward.
In-Home Pet Euthanasia
After a final consultation and review, our Caring Pathways transitional services allow for a dignified and respectful euthanasia with a professional veterinarian.
After Crossing Body Care
Our pet crossed the rainbow bridge within the last 24 hours and I need assistance today with aftercare arrangements.
Aftercare Services
Every aspect of your pet’s final care and arrangements is of the utmost significance in honoring the life, and the love, you shared. We will walk you through paw print memorial options, cremation services, and custom pet memorial products with our sister company, Amare Pet Cremation.
