Many families find virtual consultations helpful when they’re unsure about quality of life, timing, or next steps. These conversations provide guidance, clarity, and support alongside your primary veterinarian’s care.

Palliative care focuses on comfort, quality of life, and symptom support for pets with chronic illness, age-related decline, or serious diagnoses. The goal is to support both your pet and your family — whether for weeks, months, or longer.

Telehospice sessions are different for every pet, and will be tailored to address your concerns and questions. You can expect:

• A compassionate conversation about your pet’s current condition

• Guidance on improving qualify of life and comfort

• Support in making end-of-life decisions, if needed

• A personalized care plan tailored to your pet’s needs and your family’s values

By the end of your session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your options and a sense of peace knowing you’re not alone in the process.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way. Once you schedule a consultation I will reach out to you via email to walk you through the next steps in the process.

I provide individualized recommendations on acupressure points, simple home modification, and gentle massage techniques to help keep your companion as comfortable as possible. These supportive, hands-on strategies are tailored to your loved one’s unique needs and can empower you to provide meaningful comfort and connection throughout their end-of-life journey.

No. Virtual consultations are meant to complement in-person veterinary care, not replace it. I work from a guidance and support role and encourage collaboration with your primary veterinarian whenever possible.

Without conducting an in-person physical examination, a telehospice service cannot diagnose, treat, or prevent disease, illness or pain. Our purpose is to provide general guidance and support rather than treat illness. Therefore, prescription medication cannot be dispensed or recommended. However, we are able to provide integrative comfort guidance to meet your pet’s individual needs.

Yes. These virtual pet hospice and palliative care consultations are available to families everywhere. The support provided focuses on education, comfort-centered guidance, and emotional support, and does not involve diagnosing conditions or prescribing medications. These conversations are meant to complement your relationship with your primary veterinarian, not replace it.

A CEPV (Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian) is a veterinarian who has completed specialized training in compassionate, low-stress end-of-life care. This certification reflects advanced knowledge in assessing quality of life, guiding families through difficult decisions, and performing gentle, humane euthanasia focused on comfort, dignity and emotional support for both pets and their families.

A cVMA (Certified Veterinary Medical Acupuncturist) is a veterinarian who has completed advanced training in medical acupuncture for animals. This certification reflects expertise in using evidence-based acupuncture techniques to help manage pain, support mobility, and improve overall comfort — especially valuable for pets with chronic illness, age-related conditions, or those receiving hospice and palliative care.

That’s very common. If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to reach out with a brief question, or choose the option that feels closest — we can always adjust as we talk.

I understand that life with a beloved companion can change in an instant, and sometimes plans need to shift. You may cancel or reschedule your appointment up to 1 hour before your scheduled time at no charge. This helps ensure that every family receives the focused, compassionate support they need during these important moments.
