Pet Hospice & End of Life Care

When pets are seriously ill or no longer able to enjoy a good quality of life, 2nd Street Animal Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, is here to help guide families through available options. Our goal is to support you as you consider care decisions that may help improve comfort and quality of life, as well as decisions around ending pain and suffering when the time comes.

Supporting You and Your Pet

We understand how difficult these situations can be for pet parents. Our team is committed to providing judgment-free care and compassionate guidance throughout the decision-making process. We are here to help you navigate each step with care and respect for both you and your pet.

End-of-Life Planning and Aftercare Support

In addition to guidance around hospice and end-of-life decisions, we can assist with:

  • Coordinating private cremation services

  • Arranging keepsakes, such as clay or ink paw prints, to help you remember your pet

If you have questions about hospice or end-of-life care, please contact our hospital to discuss available options.
