Hospice Care for Fido

Hospice care for pets with terminal illnesses, similar to hospice care provided for humans, is an emerging trend across the United States, and it provides an alternative to the traditional method of relief, euthanasia.  Pet hospice provides comfort to both the pet and the pet owner by making our four-legged friends comfortable during their last days.
