Palliative Care for Pets
Palliative care at Broadmoor Animal Hospital focuses on relieving the symptoms, pain, and stress associated with serious illnesses in pets, particularly when curative treatments are no longer effective.

Every pet’s palliative care plan at Broadmoor Animal Hospital is personalized to address their unique needs, ensuring compassionate care for each pet, whether they are a senior dog, a cat with chronic illness, or an exotic pet facing terminal conditions.
Pet Euthanasia Services
Deciding to euthanize a beloved pet is incredibly difficult. At Broadmoor Animal Hospital, we offer compassionate and sensitive euthanasia services, ensuring your pet’s final moments are peaceful and filled with love, whether in-clinic or at home.
In-Clinic Euthanasia: Overview of Process and Environment
In-clinic euthanasia at Broadmoor Animal Hospital provides a secure and comforting environment. The process begins with a consultation to discuss your pet’s condition and your wishes. We offer a private, peaceful room for the procedure, where a sedative is first administered to keep your pet calm. The euthanasia solution is then given, ensuring a painless and peaceful passing. After your pet’s passing, we provide various aftercare services, such as cremation, memorial keepsakes, and grief counseling to assist you through this challenging period.
At-Home Euthanasia: Benefits of a Familiar Setting
At-home euthanasia allows your pet to pass away in a familiar, comfortable environment, surrounded by loved ones. This option is ideal for pets who experience anxiety in new places or cannot travel. The process is personalized and flexible, letting you choose the setting and timing that best suits your family’s needs. The veterinarian will administer a sedative to relax your pet before providing the euthanasia solution, ensuring a peaceful and painless passing. We offer compassionate aftercare services, including cremation, memorial items, and grief support to help you honor your pet’s memory.
At Broadmoor Animal Hospital, we ensure peaceful, stress-free euthanasia for your pet, prioritizing their comfort. We provide emotional support for your family and handle aftercare with respect, including memorial options and grief support.
