About Coastal Pet Hospice
Coastal Pet Hospice, Wilmington's local mobile pet hospice and home euthanasia service, has been offering compassionate end-of-life care since 2016. A woman-owned business, Coastal Pet Hospice was founded by two veterinarians who were inspired by their personal experiences with clients wishing they could spend their pets' final moments in the comfort and familiarity of home. They specialized their skills by obtaining certification in hospice and palliative care (CHPV) through the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care, the foremost authority on delivering exceptional end-of-life care and support to pets and their families.
Coastal Pet Hospice serves the Wilmington, NC area and surrounding counties.
