Our End of Life Services

Every pet’s journey is unique, and at Okie Paws Veterinary Clinic we provide personalized end-of-life care that prioritizes comfort, dignity, and peace. Whether your pet is in declining health or facing a terminal illness, we offer quality-of-life assessments, hospice care, humane euthanasia, and cremation or memorial services to help guide you through this difficult time.

Quality-of-Life Assessments

Deciding when to say goodbye is never easy. Our quality-of-life assessments help determine whether your pet is still experiencing joy or if discomfort is outweighing their well-being. We evaluate key factors such as pain levels, mobility, appetite, hydration, and overall happiness to guide you in making the most compassionate decision for your pet.

Hospice & Palliative Care

For pets with terminal illnesses or advanced age-related conditions, our hospice and palliative care services focus on comfort and symptom management. This may include pain relief, nutritional support, mobility assistance, and incontinence care to ensure your pet remains comfortable at home. Our goal is to help you cherish your remaining time together while keeping your pet as pain-free as possible.

Humane Euthanasia

When medical care can no longer provide relief, euthanasia offers a peaceful and painless passing. Our process includes gentle sedation to ensure your pet is completely relaxed before the final injection. We offer this service in our clinic or in the comfort of your home (if applicable), providing a calm and dignified farewell surrounded by love.

Cremation & Memorial Options

Honoring your pet’s memory is an important part of the healing process. We provide private cremation (ashes returned in an urn) and communal cremation (no ashes returned). Memorial keepsakes, such as paw prints, fur clippings, and personalized urns, are also available to help you cherish their legacy.

At Okie Paws Veterinary Clinic, we are here to support you and your pet through this emotional journey. If you need guidance, resources, or compassionate care, please reach out to us—we are here to help.

Supporting You Through This Journey

Losing a pet is an emotional and deeply personal experience. At Okie Paws Veterinary Clinic we recognize how heartbreaking it is to say goodbye to a beloved companion. Grief can bring a mix of emotions—sadness, guilt, loneliness, or even relief—all of which are completely normal.

We are here not only to provide compassionate end-of-life care but also to offer emotional support and resources during your grieving process. Whether you find comfort in pet loss support groups, counseling, or creating a memorial tribute, we can help connect you with the resources you need.

Understanding Grief & Finding Support

Grief is different for everyone, and there is no right or wrong way to mourn. Some pet owners experience immediate sadness, while others process their emotions over time. We encourage you to seek support from local or online grief communities, or speak with a pet loss counselor if you need additional help.

Honoring Your Pet’s Memory

Creating a tribute can be a meaningful way to celebrate your pet’s life. Many pet owners find comfort in:

Creating a memory box with photos and keepsakes

Planting a tree or flower in their honor

Writing a journal or letter about their special moments

Making a paw print keepsake

Donating to an animal charity in their name

Grieving takes time, and you don’t have to go through it alone. If you need guidance or resources, Okie Paws Veterinary Clinic is here to support you.
