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.

Starting price

$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.

1

Book a Quality of Life Assessment ($485)

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.

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

If the time comes for euthanasia, we’re already there with you. You won’t be starting over with someone new. About in-home euthanasia →

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.

“This process it’s not easy but I’m glad we went with Loved Veterinary, they were caring and supportive throughout the process.”

“I'm writing this fresh from our loss so I wish I had more words to share in the still hurting heart. Dr. Lindsay was wonderful. She was patient, we never felt rushed, she was kind and caring, and accommodating of our other large breed dog, and never made us or the the dog feel like an inconvenience. What led me to choosing Loved Vet Services was a recommendation from a neighbor, and ultimately my many conversations with Holly who answered the calls about scheduling, general information, and questions I had. Her softness and kind words over a phone were different than I experienced calling other services like this. We were able to take our time with our "see you later"s and Dr. Lindsay even had special end of life chocolate treats that you'd want your dog to experience just that once. In a circumstance no one wants to face, I'm glad we had this service available. Days later, we have personalized (actual real human) check ups and grieving tools. Thank you for making a really difficult decision more gentle.”

“Dr.Lindsay is wonderful. The best mobile vet we have ever had. She made the passing of our sweet kitty Dax so peaceful. We could not have asked for a more positive experience at the end of his long life (21 years!). I can not thank her enough.”

“Dr. Bowes came to our home and spent a long, late-evening with us as we decided to put down our sweet, dog Stormy. It was time, and one of our children was taking it especially hard. Dr. Bowes didn't just perform a service that evening. She helped calm and give our daughter - and us - a sense of peace about Stormy's passing. The entire process was both peaceful and dignified, and Dr. Bowes conducted herself with care, compassion and professionalism. Thank you, Dr. Bowes and EverLoved, for helping our family through a difficult evening.”

Dr. Stephanie Bowes

If you’ve had a question or a doubt, that’s enough reason to reach out.

We’ll talk through what you’re seeing, with no pressure and no judgment. You don’t have to have all the answers before you call.
