Services offered in Needham
In-Home Euthanasia
A peaceful farewell in the space your pet knows best. We begin with gentle sedation so your companion relaxes and drifts into a comfortable sleep; when you’re ready, we administer the final medication. On request, we can create a clay paw print and provide a lock of fur. We’ll review cremation options and outline next steps.
In-Home Palliative Care
When comfort is the goal, we build a practical plan for pain and anxiety relief, nausea and hydration support, mobility and bedding adjustments, appetite help, and daily-routine tweaks that fit your home. Follow-ups fine-tune the plan as needs change.
Virtual Quality of Life Consult (Telehospice)
A 30-minute phone or video conversation to evaluate appetite, mobility, breathing, sleep quality, and the balance of good vs. bad days. You’ll receive kind, realistic guidance on whether to continue palliative care, monitor with checkpoints, or consider in-home euthanasia.
Transportation to Crematory with Mementos
If your pet passes at home, we can come to your Needham residence, create keepsakes if desired, and coordinate respectful transport and cremation — even if we were not present for euthanasia.
