Quality of Life Assessments for Senior and Chronically Ill Pets

A quality of life assessment helps you understand how comfortable your pet truly is as they age or face chronic illness. Our at home vet Brooklyn service evaluates your pet in their natural environment, where they feel safest and most relaxed. This calm setting allows us to offer supportive, compassionate end of life services for pets when families need clarity during difficult decisions.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A quality of life assessment helps evaluate your dog’s comfort, mobility, appetite, and emotional wellbeing. A veterinarian reviews these factors to determine how your pet is coping and whether supportive care or end-of-life planning may be appropriate for their needs.

    Senior pets often face chronic conditions that impact daily comfort. This assessment helps identify decline, guide treatment or hospice plans, and ensure decisions prioritize dignity, relief, and emotional wellbeing throughout your pet’s aging process.

    Consider scheduling when your pet shows ongoing pain, appetite loss, mobility issues, confusion, or diminished joy. A mobile vet can evaluate your pet gently at home and help determine the best next steps.
