Euthanasia & Hospice Care
Compassionate End-of-Life Care for Pets — Long Island, NY
West Hills Animal Hospital & Emergency Center | 800 W. Jericho Turnpike, Huntington, NY 11743 | Diagnostics available 24/7 | (631) 351-6116
There is no part of pet ownership more difficult than this moment. We know that. Our team approaches end-of-life care with the same respect, honesty, and compassion we bring to every other aspect of veterinary medicine — because how we care for pets and families at this stage matters as much as how we care for them any other time.
Hospice and Palliative Care
When a pet is facing a terminal diagnosis or a condition that cannot be cured, comfort becomes the primary goal. Our hospice approach focuses on:
- Effective pain management to keep your pet comfortable
- Anti-nausea and appetite support as needed
- Regular quality-of-life assessments — helping you understand where your pet is on a scale that matters
- Honest, supportive conversations about what to expect and how to know when the time is approaching
- Guidance on home care, positioning, and keeping your pet comfortable between visits
Euthanasia — Gentle, Dignified, and Never Rushed
When the time comes, we provide a procedure that is humane, gentle, and as peaceful as possible for your pet — and your family. We do not rush this. You will have time with your pet before, and time after if you need it. The environment is calm. Our team is present but not intrusive.
You may choose to be present or not. There is no right answer. We support whatever feels right for you and honors your bond with your pet.
