Palliative Care

Palliative care is provided to a patient that has been diagnosed with a chronic or terminal disease and requires supportive therapies to improve quality of life. These pets may suffer from conditions such as kidney failure, chronic arthritis, cancer, or dementia. The focus is no longer on a cure but for their care and comfort. HousePaws creates an individual treatment plan designed to meet the pet’s medical needs and provides educational and emotional support to caregivers. This protocol is designed to be an active plan that will be modified as the pet’s condition changes. In-home Pet Palliative Care is available in The Woodlands.

Palliative Care Services might Include:

  • Fluid Therapy
  • Pain Management
  • Nutritional Counseling
  • Environmental Modification
  • Wound Care
  • Injectable and Oral Medications
  • Owner Education and Support

  • Our featured pet this week is, Tyson! Tyson turned 15 this weekend 🎉. We started seeing Tyson in July of this year. Tyson had been seeing a vet who had him on a great regimen of pain, and anti-inflammatory medications already but his Dads felt that he was still having some struggles getting around and specifically posturing to go to the bathroom. We began Acupuncture and Laser therapy, and added one more medication, his Dads saw an improvement in his mobility within a week. We see Tyson every 2 weeks now and are so happy that we could help add more quality days to his life! Tyson is loved very much and one our our sweetest patients! Happy Birthday Tyson 🎈#labradoodle #housecallvet #dogacupuncture #weloveoldpets
