Respectful, Comfortable End-of-Life Care

Dr. Murphy and the caring technicians at Westside Animal Hospital can help you manage any pain your pet may be experiencing toward the end of his or her life. When the time comes, we can also provide respectful, compassionate euthanasia.

We answer any questions you might have about the process, and we do everything possible to support you through the experience and make sure your pet is completely comfortable in his or her final moments. The process is both peaceful and respectful. A lit candle in our waiting area is our indication to other pet owners that someone is saying goodbye to a beloved pet.

Dr. Murphy and his staff were AMAZING. They walked us through the steps no family want to walk through. What touched me so much was that Dr. Murphy said a prayer over our baby before he put her down. We were not rushed, his staff were so kind. They let us sit with our baby for three hours. I have never seen such loving, compassionate people in all my years in dealing with vets. I look forward to a long relationship with Dr. Murphy and his staff.
