Midtown Mobile Veterinary Hospice Services (MMVHS) is a mobile veterinary practice that focuses on ill and aging pets in and around the GTA. We currently have a team of 9 veterinarians who are able to provide in-home end-of-life care 365 days a year, supported by an amazing team of hospice care coordinators. Geriatric consultations, palliative care and/or hospice consultations will all begin with a review of your pet’s medical history followed by a discussion of your pet’s current condition or illness. A physical examination and detailed evaluation will allow our veterinarians to determine whether or not your pet may be in pain. In-home consultations allow proper observation of your pet in their normal environment allowing identification of any areas of concern. We will discuss your pet’s nutritional and hydration needs, quality of life, pain management and much, much more. An in-depth conversation regarding your concerns, fears, needs, and goals regarding the condition of your pet including frank discussions about end-of-life/euthanasia, where appropriate, will also occur. Within a few days you will receive a personalized plan with information on the care of your pet. All of the information shared during the consultation will be included in your personalized plan, as well as information and action plans to help ensure your pet does not suffer during his or her last weeks or days at home. Our veterinarians can also work with your regular veterinarian to set up in-home care for treatments they have recommended. If you are having feelings of guilt about euthanizing your pet or you are not sure if this is the right time to do it, an end-of-life/euthanasia consultation with our veterinarians may help make this heart-wrenching decision easier. Update: We have strong COVID-19 protocols in place that allow us to continue to offer in-home euthanasia services, while keeping the families we help and our veterinarians safe.
