Ongoing comfort care and hospice support for your pet, in Lakeland, FL.

For pets who need more than a single visit. Comfort Care is an ongoing plan built around your pet: regular check-ins, pain management, and quality-of-life reassessments. Every Comfort Care plan begins with a Quality of Life Assessment, where your vet examines your pet at home and recommends the right plan and duration for what comes next.

How it works

Comfort Care always starts with a Quality of Life Assessment

There’s no way to book an ongoing plan directly. Every family starts with a single in-home visit so your vet can recommend the right plan for your pet.

1

Book a Quality of Life Assessment

An unhurried, in-home visit where your vet observes your pet in their own space and listens to what you’ve noticed.

2

Your vet evaluates your pet at home

Pain, mobility, appetite, and the small day-to-day details a clinic visit never sees.

3

We build a Comfort Care plan together

If ongoing support is right for your pet, your vet recommends the scope, frequency, and duration of your Comfort Care plan.

The cost

$485 — Quality of Life Assessment

This first visit is what you’re booking today. Your ongoing Comfort Care plan, and its pricing, is built together with your vet afterward, based on what your pet actually needs.

We also work with Affirm to offer financing, so cost doesn’t have to be the reason you wait. See payment & insurance options →

If your vet recommends ongoing support

One visit is a start. We're here for the whole journey.

For families navigating a longer decline, your vet may recommend an ongoing Comfort Care plan: regular check-ins, pain management guidance, quality-of-life reassessments, and a consistent point of contact as things change.

Pricing and cadence for ongoing plans are tailored to each family’s needs and set together with your vet after your assessment. Check-ins typically range from weekly to monthly depending on your pet’s condition, and most families use Comfort Care for three to six months, sometimes longer.

What a check-in visit looks like

A trained veterinary technician visits on the schedule your vet recommends. Each visit includes a pain assessment, a body-condition check, and a brief conversation about what’s improved, stayed the same, or changed. Your prescribing vet reviews every visit and adjusts the plan as needed.

Therapies we can provide at home

  • Subcutaneous fluids for hydration support
  • Injectable pain management for chronic arthritis
  • Anti-nausea injections to support appetite
  • Vitamin B12 injections for chronic GI conditions
  • Long-term steroid injections for certain chronic conditions

Daily oral medications stay your responsibility at home, and we’re happy to call in prescriptions for you. Our in-home visits cover the injectable therapies that would otherwise mean a trip to the clinic.

What stays the same, every visit

  • A consistent care team who knows your pet by name
  • Someone to call when you notice a change, big or small

Trust what you’re noticing

Signs it may be time to reassess

Comfort Care isn’t designed to last forever. If any of this sounds familiar, it’s a good moment to talk with your vet again, not a sign that anything has gone wrong.

Changes in your pet

  • Sleeping much more, hiding, or refusing to go outside
  • Accidents inside from lost bladder awareness or energy
  • A therapy that used to help, like fluids or an injection, no longer brings the usual lift

Changes for your family

  • The care routine has become too much to keep up with
  • Your pet is no longer tolerating medications or handling well
  • You’re feeling worn down by the day-to-day of it

Any of these are reason enough to call. We’ll walk through a full Quality of Life Assessment together and talk honestly about whether it’s time to consider an end-of-life appointment.

Before you book

What Comfort Care is not

  • Not a replacement for your primary vet. We complement your pet’s regular care and refer back when needed.
  • Not something you can book directly. Every Comfort Care plan starts with a Quality of Life Assessment so your vet can recommend the right plan for your pet.
  • Not for emergencies. If your pet is in acute distress, please contact your primary vet or an emergency clinic immediately.
  • Not a full pharmacy. Daily oral medications stay your responsibility at home; we’re happy to call prescriptions in for you, but our in-home visits cover the injectable therapies that would otherwise mean a clinic trip.
  • Not for daily in-home therapies. If your pet needs hands-on care multiple times a day, we’ll teach your family how to do it and support you with regular pain-management check-ins, but that level of care isn’t a Comfort Care fit.
  • Not a path to a diagnosis or curative treatment. If you’re looking to confirm a specific diagnosis or pursue treatment like chemotherapy, that’s specialty care territory. We focus on comfort, not cure.
  • Not yet available outside Lakeland, FL. We’re working to bring Comfort Care to Tampa and Houston — a Quality of Life Assessment is available in those areas today.

“I highly recommend the services provided by Loved Veterinary Services. Dr. Carrie Shultz, Holly and the entire team made a difficult experience much easier. They provided resources to evaluate options for my 13 year old bichon, walked me through the process, and showed compassion throughout the journey. Dr Carrie was amazing and helped me understand what my dog was experiencing and provided immense support throughout the process. It is so nice to know this option is available for pet owners.”

“EverLoved Vet care (Dr Bowes and Holly) are fantastic. Dr Bowes was wonderful in helping our beloved dog Boomer pass on at home yesterday. She was not only professional and highly skilled technically in what she needed to do but she treated us as a whole family so incredibly well. The respect she showed to our dog in his final hour was so appreciated – and the care and kindness she showed to us all (including our other dog) leaves us enormously grateful. Saying goodbye was especially hard for our son but Dr Bowes made it a little easier for him – we are profoundly thankful for how she was with him – she was in lock-step with us all throughout. Holly, who coordinates the visit was so gracious, thoughtful and highly efficient. EverLoved is a wonderful option when the time comes to say goodbye to your cherished pet. I recommend them highly and we appreciate them sincerely.”

“It’s taken me some time to come here to post, it’s been 25 days since we told our baby Bruno goodbye. This was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do, and without the love, compassion & respect these ladies here at everloved showed us I don’t know if we could’ve done it. We were so blessed to be told about them. Both Julie & Dr. Stephanie were everything we needed in those moments and we will forever be grateful for these outstanding services they provided to our grieving family!Jennifer Mulford”

“I am so very thankful for Dr Bowes and her help during our time of need. Her kindness and compassion in assisting Chase across the rainbow bridge turned a difficult time into a peaceful experience. The entire staff at Everloved was wonderful from the time the appointment was made until the delivery of our beloved back home. We are grateful for the support and thoughtfulness we received through the whole process.”
