 "Monier Veterinary Clinic")
At Monier Veterinary Clinic, we understand how important it is to provide compassionate care for pets during their golden years or when managing chronic or terminal illnesses. Our palliative care services are designed to maximise your pet’s quality of life, focusing on comfort, dignity, and holistic support.
Palliative Care
Supporting Your Pet Through Every Stage of Life
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care focuses on providing comfort and quality of life for pets in their final stages.
It’s not about extending life at all costs but ensuring that the time your pet has left is as pain-free and comfortable as possible. This care includes tailored pain management, mobility support, and compassionate guidance to help you navigate the emotional journey of caring for a beloved pet nearing the end of their life.
Our goal is to address not just physical discomfort but also emotional and practical concerns, ensuring your pet is cared for with the utmost respect and kindness.
Our Palliative Care Approach
Comprehensive Pain Management
Using a multimodal approach, we combine medications and therapies to effectively control pain and improve mobility.
Nutrition and Hydration
Tailored dietary recommendations to support your pet’s overall health and energy levels.
Skin and Mobility Support
Assistance with maintaining skin health and mobility to prevent discomfort or complications.
Regular Assessments
Ongoing evaluations to monitor your pet’s condition, ensuring they are comfortable and their quality of life remains optimal.
Emotional and Practical Guidance
Supporting owners in recognising signs of discomfort or decline and helping with decision-making regarding ongoing care.
Home Visits and Flexible Care Options
We know that some pets may feel more comfortable in their home environment. That’s why we offer home visits for palliative care consultations, assessments, and even end-of-life care when needed. This service allows us to provide care with minimal stress for both pets and their families.
Quality of Life Assessments
One of the most challenging aspects of palliative care is assessing when your pet’s quality of life has declined to the point where it may be kinder to let them go. Our team will guide you through this process, discussing your pet’s favourite behaviours, appetite, and activity levels to help you make informed decisions. We believe in providing not only physical support but also emotional comfort for pet owners during these difficult times.
