Your Privacy is Protected
All your answers stay on your device and are never automatically sent to our servers. You can print or save your summary to share with your veterinarian. If you choose to contact Nebraska Pet Hospice, that link opens their website without sending any of your assessment data. At the end, you'll have the option to share your responses anonymously to help improve pet end-of-life care - but this is completely optional.
