Lap of Love - Pittsburgh

Veterinarian, service establishment

At Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, we believe all pets and their families deserve a compassionate, supportive, end-of-life experience. Our experienced veterinarians help you navigate the last stage of your pet’s life through quality-of-life assessments, pain and anxiety management, and end-of-life consultations. Our telehospice and in-home hospice services provide guidance to help you maintain a better quality of life for your pet. Our in-home euthanasia services ensure your pet’s final moments are spent at home, where they are most comfortable. We also offer complimentary Pet Loss Support services.

Our veterinarians are available every day, including weekends and holidays. Our Support Center accepts calls 7 am - 11 pm ET, 365 days a year.

When appropriate, we will leave your home and allow you to grieve in private. (Aftercare options and information on how and when your pet’s ashes will be ready to come home will be discussed by the doctor in detail at the beginning of the appointment. )
A Lap of Love veterinarian will arrive at your home for the in-home euthanasia appointment. We don’t wear scrubs or a white coat, we arrive with the emotions that guide us to this work, warmth and compassion.
The veterinarian will talk you through the entire euthanasia process based on your interest and comfort level. Please feel free to ask any questions to help you feel as comfortable as possible.
After the final euthanasia medication is given, the veterinarian will confirm that your pet has peacefully passed on. This is, of course, the most delicate moment of our time with you. Every family receives a paw print and fur clipping for an eternal keepsake. A paw print is perhaps the most meaningful representation of your pet, the paw that was by your side for so long.
