We are a team of veterinary professionals and animal lovers that understand the human-animal bond and know that you want only the best for your beloved pet, including when it is time to say goodbye. We offer compassionate end of life care for your beloved pet where they are most comfortable-at home. Whether we are maximizing quality of life in an ailing pet through a home hospice program, or helping them pass away comfortably, saving the stress of a visit to the clinic can be a great benefit to both the pet, and their family.

Better Goodbyes developed as a subsidiary of Gilbertsen Veterinary Services, PLLC, which has been in the practice of mobile veterinary health care in SW Washington since 2016. We decided to specialize in home hospice and euthanasia beginning in late 2019. We realize that saying goodbye to a pet can be every bit as difficult as losing a human family member and want to make that process as peaceful for the pet and their human family as possible.
