IAAHPC

The International Association of Animal Hospice and Palliative Care is a non-profit organization that promotes comfort care for animals with chronic diseases as they approach end-of-life.

Our Connection with IAAHPC

The IAAHPC has been a pioneer in the end-of-life animal care movement. DVMcenter works closely with the IAAHPC because we are deeply committed to this mission.

Our alignment with this leading-edge organization means we have a direct line to the latest developments in animal hospice and palliative care. Our consistent IAAHPC involvement enriches our practice and our client’s practices.

Connecting with other professionals in our industry is a valuable way to advance our own expertise and techniques for end-of-life care.
