Tell us what’s going on
Share what you’ve been noticing and the questions or concerns you have about your pet.
How it works
From your first call to ongoing support, every step happens at home, at your pet's pace. Here's what to expect when you invite us into your family's care.
How it works
Start where you are
Whether you’d like to talk things through first or you’re ready for in-home care, we’ll help you find the right next step for your pet.
Not sure what your pet needs or where to begin? Our TeleAdvice service gives you a place to start. Talk with an experienced member of our veterinary team about what you’re seeing, what’s concerning you, and what type of support may be most appropriate.
Talk it through with us
Meet by phone or video with our Certified Hospice & Palliative Care Veterinary Nurse for personalized guidance and support.
Understand your options
We’ll help you determine the most appropriate next step based on your pet’s needs and your family’s goals.
Transition to in-home care when needed
If your pet would benefit from veterinary assessment or treatment, we can help guide you toward the appropriate in-home service.
“It was so nice and relieving to have someone that we can 100% trust help us in a true time of need.”
How can we support you?
