🌟 Meet Boomer 🌟

Four months ago, Boomer was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his back leg—a heartbreaking and life-altering diagnosis. When he first came under our care, he wasn’t using his leg at all. His pain was severe, and his mobility was limited.

But today? Boomer is running around with hardly any sign of his earlier struggles. 🐾💨 His transformation has been nothing short of inspiring.

💉 As part of his hospice care with Senior Pet Vet, Boomer receives zoledronate infusions, a therapy that helps slow the tumor’s bone destruction and provides lasting pain relief.
💊 He’s also on a customized multimodal pain management plan designed to keep him comfortable and active.

Boomer’s story is a powerful reminder that with the right care, support, and love, pets with serious illness can continue to thrive.

💛 We’re proud to stand with Boomer and his family through this journey—ensuring his days are filled with comfort, joy, and mobility.

“You were my once-in-a-lifetime friend. Thank you for every moment. Run wild and free beyond the Rainbow Bridge. We shall meet again someday.”

Rest easy, dear Jagger🌈🐾

His family wrote a very special memorial in his honor:

“Jagger was the best dog a family could ever ask for. He was a yellow English Labrador Retriever. He loved going on hikes, walks in the park, boat rides, car rides, swimming, playing with his half-sister and neighbor dogs next door and cuddling with his stuffed animals which were called his “babies”. He loved his treats and biscuits. Most of all he loved being with his family and especially looked after his two sisters who doted on him. He was a loyal, affectionate and happy pup his entire life. He will be immeasurably missed.” ❤️

🐾 Meet Luigi 🐾
This little warrior has faced paralysis since a young age after suffering a back injury—but that hasn’t stopped him from moving through life with heart and determination. 💛💪

To support his front limbs and maintain strength, Luigi receives regular acupuncture treatments. These sessions help give him the energy and comfort he needs—and he’s become so relaxed during them that he often drifts off to sleep. 😴💆‍♂️

Luigi’s journey is a beautiful reminder of how gentle, consistent care can make a world of difference. We’re honored to be part of his story. 💕

Ben’s Healing Journey 🐶

This is Ben, a gentle giant who loves the outdoors and spending quiet time by his favorite spot in the yard. Unfortunately, during one of his outdoor adventures, Ben was bitten by a wild animal. By the time his injury was discovered, infection had already set in.

Thanks to attentive care, dedicated monitoring, and some help from manuka honey bandages, Ben is now healing beautifully. The wound was large, but manuka honey’s natural antimicrobial and healing properties have helped accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Ben continues to rest comfortably, surrounded by love, and we’re proud to support his recovery every step of the way.

Healing doesn’t always happen in a hospital—it happens at home, with comfort, patience, and the right tools. ❤️👩‍🔬🏡

Farewell for now, our beloved Hans. ❤️

To your devoted fur-mom, you were more than a pet—you were her heart, her shadow, and her quiet strength. Thank you for the many years of unconditional love and steadfast companionship. Run free now, sweet soul. You will always be deeply missed. 🐾💔🌈

A tribute from his fur-mom:

"I had Hans for 12 years. Got him from a rescue. He was that one dog who was so special, my soul dog. I
will miss him, but I know he's in a better place now."

Meet Winter: Healing at Home
This beautiful Great Dane is Winter, and she’s receiving acupuncture and electroacupuncture to help manage a lumbosacral disc herniation—a condition that can cause significant pain and mobility issues in large-breed dogs.

Thanks to in-home treatments, Winter is able to relax in her favorite spot while we gently support her spine and nervous system with this ancient, scientifically supported therapy.

Acupuncture for pets can:
• Reduce pain
• Improve mobility
• Support nervous system healing
• Enhance comfort in hospice and palliative care

Comfort. Connection. Compassion. Right at home.
