Peaceful Shores Services
In-Home Veterinary Hospice
The initial hospice consult visit is all about determining the comfort and well being of your beloved pet. Dr. Kennedy will do a physical exam and address any immediate issues; then she will sit with the family, as a team, to discuss how things are going.
In-Home Veterinary Euthanasia
This is one of the hardest decisions you will make in your pet’s life. Allowing your pet to experience the transition smoothly and peacefully in their own home can make a big difference — and not just for the pet.
Cremation & Transportation
It is important to think ahead of what you might like to do with your pet’s remains after passing. Some people prefer to make arrangements on their own, or have Dr. Jessamyn take care of this step.
