We are available by phone daily from 8am - 8pm, including weekends and holidays, to help you navigate end of life decisions for your beloved pet. If we do not answer during these hours we are likely on the line with another family so please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Messages left after 8pm will be followed up the following morning after 8am. We currently have been able to schedule in-home visits within 24 to 72 hours. If same day visit is requested and we are able to accomodate the request, a $25 same day visit charge applies. Our Comfort Center hours are variable depending on staffing availability and are by APPOINTMENT ONLY so please call ahead of time to make arrangements there.

COVID-19 Updated Protocols

We still truly feel that it is best for your pet to have their end of life care in home and also keep your family home and safe as well. Prior to your appointment, please let us know if anyone in your home has any respiratory or cold or flu symptoms, if they have been tested for COVID-19, or have recently traveled to an endemic area and/or is on a quarantine. We request that you open and close any doors in your home for us and we will sign any paperwork or payment consents for you on our screens in order to reduce the potential for the spread of germs. At this time, we are requiring family members to wear masks in their own homes during the appointment and our team members to wear both masks and gloves. Please feel free to discuss any concerns you have with us prior to arriving or at the time of the visit.
