One week from today, the AVMA will begin discussions about whether to officially recognize the American College of Veterinary Hospice and Palliative Medicine (ACVHPM) as a specialty organization. That's where we need your help - the AVMA is accepting comments from the public until August 13th, and if you feel strongly about senior pet care, we welcome your support!

Official recognition from the AVMA would mean rigorous, standardized training in:
• Advanced pain and symptom management
• Quality-of-life assessment for chronic and terminal illness
• Goals-of-care conversations
• Grief support for families

The same level of intentional, compassionate care we expect in human hospice — formally established for pets and the people who love them.

Heaven at Home Pet Hospice extends our deepest sympathies to Beth and the Schilling family for the passing of their beloved dog, Kingsley. We love hearing cherished stories and memories about the pets we help pass peacefully. Here's a little bit of what Beth shared with us about him:

"Kingsley came to be ours in December of 2015 as a little niblet with the biggest paws ever!

"He was the sweetest, kindest, most gentle dog and we could not have asked for better! He was so loved and pampered, and we all have some fabulous memories of the silliness he would get into. Kingsley will be missed every second of every day!"

Beth wrote a very sweet and loving memorial for Kingsley here: https://www.pethospicevet.com/memorial/kingsley/

If we helped your pet pass peacefully at home, consider creating a memorial for them on our website here: https://www.pethospicevet.com/memorial/

Today is National Mutt Day, which celebrates mixed-breed dogs of all shapes and sizes. We hope it helps highlight their unique qualities and advocate for their adoption. Learn about their diverse personalities, health benefits, and how you can support animal shelters.

Estimates vary, but mixed breed dogs constitute a significant majority of the approximately 3.1 million dogs entering U.S. animal shelters each year. They often face longer waits for adoption compared to purebreds, so we hope you consider opening your home to a loving mutt today!

📣 Calling all families with senior pets in our community!

Dr. Laurie Brush of Heaven at Home Pet Hospice is one of the veterinarians helping the American College of Veterinary Hospice and Palliative Medicine (ACVHPM) become the first AVMA-recognized specialty organization dedicated to pet hospice and end-of-life care.

What would that mean? Rigorous, standardized training in:
• Advanced pain and symptom management
• Quality-of-life assessment for chronic and terminal illness
• Goals-of-care conversations
• Grief support for families

The same level of intentional, compassionate care we expect in human hospice — formally established for pets and the people who love them. The ACVHPM has been established. Now it needs official recognition by the AVMA — and you can help make that happen before the August 13 deadline.

Heaven at Home Pet Hospice extends our sincerest condolences to Olivia and the Johnson family for the passing of their beloved cat, Tipper. We love hearing cherished stories and memories about the pets we help pass peacefully. Here's a little bit of what Olivia shared with us about him:

"To know Tipper was to know a cat who never met a stranger. He was endlessly affectionate, wonderfully opinionated, and never shy about announcing exactly when he wanted attention—or snacks. His loud Siamese conversations filled our home every day, and the silence he leaves behind feels almost impossible to comprehend.

"Even in his twentieth year, Tipper remained determined to be close to the people he loved. He greeted us at the door, supervised daily life, demanded cuddles on his own schedule, and reminded us every single day that love is often expressed in the smallest moments."

Olivia wrote a very thoughtful and touching memorial for Tipper here: https://www.pethospicevet.com/memorial/tipper-johnson/

Remember to check yourself and your pets for ticks while out adventuring this summer!

While we often see statistics about human infections of Lyme disease, for pets, the number is almost certainly much higher. Lyme disease can be contracted through the bite of an infected black-legged tick. "The most serious risk is when Lyme disease is not diagnosed immediately and has time to infiltrate the system, causing chronic kidney, heart, or neurologic problems. Irreversible kidney failure is fatal," said Dr. Laurie Brush, founder of Heaven at Home Pet Hospice.
