End of Life Care

Saying goodbye to a pet that has been your loving companion can be one of the most difficult situations a person will ever confront. While there are times when a pet’s condition will deteriorate to a point where even the best veterinary care can no longer provide them with comfort and a reasonable quality of life, euthanasia is a humane way to allow your pet to pass peacefully and painlessly.

At Commonwealth Veterinary Hospital, we understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family. We ensure you are well informed and never have to leave your pet’s side during their final visit to our hospital. We understand that making the decision to let your beloved pet go is incredibly difficult and it is our great privilege to help you through this stage in your pet’s life in a kind and supportive manner.
