Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice

We believe all pets deserve peaceful end-of-life experiences:

Lap of Love is a network of veterinarians around the country with the goal of empowering every owner to care for their geriatric pets. 

Our philosophy centers around the human-animal bond and the need for that bond to be as undisturbed as possible during this most difficult time. 

The desire to bring this important service to families across the United States is slowly being realized as additional veterinarians begin working under the same philosophy. 

Lap of Love is honored to have some of the most compassionate and empathetic vets working with us.
