When Palliative Care Becomes Hospice: Knowing When to Shift Gears
How do you know when it's time to shift from palliative care to hospice care for your beloved pet? In this heartfelt conversation, Karen Wylie, EdD, and Gail Pope explore the gradual, often unclear transition that pet parents navigate when caring for aging, chronically ill, or terminally ill animals.
The key differences between palliative care (comfort while hoping for stability) and hospice care (comfort when time is short)—and why there's no sharp dividing line between them
Key Takeaway: Hospice isn't about giving up—it's about shifting your focus from prolonging life to enriching it, offering your pet comfort, peace, and unconditional love in their final chapter.
Whether you're currently walking this path with a pet or want to be prepared for the future, this episode offers compassionate, practical guidance for recognizing when the transition is happening and how to honor your pet's needs every step of the way.
🐾Remember: You're not alone in your journey.💜
