Paws Finding Peace

We know that saying goodbye to your beloved pet companion is not something that can always be pre-planned. We also know that weekends work better for some families. That is why at Paws Finding Peace, we offer assistance 7 days a week. The amazingly kind and compassionate Dr. Calvin works on Sundays to assist pet families in need of our services. 💜💙❤️💚

Drs. Lauren and Calvin attended the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care (IAAHPC) three-day virtual conference this weekend. They attended seminars on pain management, grief support, quality of life assessment tools, supporting diverse religious and spiritual faiths and much more. They have already started to share what they learned with the rest of our team at Paws Finding Peace.
