Hospice Care

Does your pet have a chronic illness that’s diminishing his or her quality of life? Are you concerned that your elderly pet is suffering from too much pain? Are you struggling to care for your terminally ill animal companion?

As loving pet parents, we’d all love to see our animal companions live as long as we do. Unfortunately, these precious babies are only with us for a finite amount of time. That’s why it’s especially important that we take the appropriate measures to ensure that end of that time is spent as happily and painlessly as possible.

Our hospice care services are designed to help extend those final days in the place where your pet feels most comfortable, while also relieving pain and reducing suffering. We understand that, as difficult as it is to say goodbye to a loved one, deciding when to do so is even harder. Our compassionate staff members will be there to explain your options and help you make those tough decisions.

We also want you to know that, when that time does inevitably come, we’ll be right by your side. We know exactly what you’re going through because we’ve been in your shoes. Rest assured that your pet will be treated with the utmost compassion and given the opportunity to cross the Rainbow Bridge with peace and dignity, either at our facility or in the comfort of his or her own home.

If you are in the DuPage, Kendall, Kane Counties, Dekalb, Grundy Will or LaSalle County area and are struggling with end-of-life decisions for your elderly or terminally ill pet, or you just have questions about how hospice care works and whether it would be a good fit for your situation, we encourage you to pick up the phone and contact the caring crew at Safford Veterinary Services. We’re here to help make this difficult time a little bit easier.
