Aging, Illness, and Grief Resources
Mission Pet Memorials is proud to support local and independent organizations that specialize in pets, helping all of us as guardians to keep them healthy throughout life. As our pets age, just as with us, it is important to provide quality medical care that addresses the issues associated with aging and illness. Considering such things as diet, hydration, exercise, and medication can play a major role in insuring that your beloved pet enjoys a successful aging experience.
Palliative care is often associated with humans, but works just the same for our animal counterparts. The World Health Organization defines palliative care as, "an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial, and spiritual."
Below you will find provided some contacts that can help you with guidance as you care for your aging or ill pet. Mission Pet Memorials would like to extend an invitation to provide us with additional resources that we can share with our families. Please, complete our contact form and help us to provide the very best resources to our pet friends and family. It is important to remember that self-education is a wonderful thing, but can never properly substitute for professional education from trained professionals in animal care that personally assess your treasured pet's individual health situation and needs.
