One of the most important functions of a veterinary hospital is to help pet owners understand when it is time to say goodbye, to provide a safe place for a peaceful passing, and to support families going through this loss.

We take this responsibility very seriously! Dr. LoSasso is so passionate about helping pet owners through this process that he wrote a book about it in 2012. We designed our hospital with the needs of grieving families in mind, with three dedicated rooms for saying goodbye that share a separate, private exit. We even have a counselor on staff to help families navigate the decision-making process. She leads our monthly Pet Loss Support Group meetings.

We modified our process several years ago so that we do not take your pet away from you until you are ready to go (“ready” is a very relative term).
