Even though death is a part of life, it’s never easy to say goodbye to a beloved family member. It’s true even when that family member has four legs, a wagging or swishing tail, and possibly a cold, wet nose. When your companion pet is terminally ill and you have tried all treatment options, we are here to help. Ross Bridge Animal Hospital offers hospice and euthanasia services. These end-of-life services keep your pet comfortable and pain-free while giving you time to say goodbye.
We have been there for your pet throughout his or her lifetime, and we want to be there at the end as well. Our goal is to offer you kindness and compassion. We aim to help your pet experience terminal illness and the dying process with respect and dignity. Our team of veterinarians has chosen medications that will help mitigate end of life pain and ensure a peaceful transition.
Following euthanasia, pet parents can choose burial or cremation for their pet’s remains. If you choose the cremation option, you can select to have the ashes returned to you in a standard or custom urn.
To help you preserve the memory of your steadfast friend, Ross Bridge Animal Hospital offers a memorial keepsake. We can make a cast of your pet’s paw print that you will be able to have with you always. Please ask about this service if you are interested.
If you live in Hoover, Homewood, Birmingham, Bessemer, or Shannon, Alabama, we are here to help. If you are struggling with a sick, elderly, or terminally ill pet, reach out to us for support.
Our mission is to promote and facilitate pet health, wellness and comfort. We believe it is our responsibility to use the gifts given to us by God to ensure that the pets in our care achieve the highest quality of life possible. We will achieve this by providing up to date, and proven, medical and surgical procedures, putting in place a compassionate and knowledgeable support staff, and going above and beyond to ensure the pet, as well as the owner, is fully satisfied with the care we provide.
