End-of-Life Care
End-of-life care at Cypress St. Animal Hospital is provided with the deepest compassion and respect for the bond you share with your pet. Our Kitsilano team understands that this is one of the most difficult decisions a pet owner faces. We are here to support you with gentle, honest guidance and a peaceful, dignified experience for your pet and your family.
Compassionate In-Clinic End-of-Life Care
Our in-clinic end-of-life service is designed to be as calm and peaceful as possible. We provide a private, quiet space where you can spend time with your pet before and during the process. Our veterinary team explains each step clearly and moves at your pace. Sedation is administered first to ensure your pet is relaxed and free of discomfort before the final step.
Pain-Free Farewell Support for Your Pet
Our commitment to a pain-free farewell means your pet experiences no distress during their final moments. We use a two-step approach — first, a calming sedative that allows your pet to drift into a deep, comfortable sleep, followed by the final step that stops the heart gently and painlessly. Our team stays with you for as long as you need.
Aftercare Guidance and Cremation Options
After your pet passes, we help you navigate aftercare options with care and sensitivity. Cypress St. Animal Hospital offers communal cremation, private cremation with ashes returned, and keepsake memorial options. Our team will walk you through each choice so you can make the decision that feels right for your family.
