Palliative Care or Hospice Care Initial Consultation $450
This includes the veterinarian traveling to your home for a 1.5-2 hour consultation.

The initial visit will also include, as appropriate, follow-up communication via email, video, or phone for one month. After this time, if appropriate for your pet’s situation, we will schedule a follow-up visit to continue on with care for your pet. Additional pain management/palliative treatments, if appropriate, are an additional cost.

While we do understand cancellations are sometimes unavoidable, short notice cancellation limits our ability to help another family in need during that scheduled time. So, for short notice, the following cancellation fee may apply (with some exceptions):

$50 if less than 24 hours but more than 4 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.
$200 if less than 4 hours, but more than 2 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.
If a cancellation request is less than 2 hours before the scheduled time we kindly reserve the right to charge the full cost of the visit ($450).
