Hospet was created to bring comfort and clarity to one of the hardest parts of loving an animal: the time when we begin asking how to give them the best possible ending.
From the beginning, the goal has been simple. We want every family to have access to tools that help them understand their pet’s quality of life, without cost ever becoming a barrier.
For a time, Hospet charged a small subscription fee to help cover server and maintenance costs. It was never about profit. Over time, it became clear that even a small fee could prevent people from finding the support they needed most. Today, Hospet is completely free for everyone.
If Hospet has helped you, there are several ways you can help keep it growing and available to others:
1. Spread the Word
Share Hospet with friends, family, veterinarians, doulas, and shelters who may benefit from it. Every time you talk about it, you help another pet family find comfort and guidance during a difficult time.
2. Contribute to Hosting and Development
You can make an optional financial contribution to help cover hosting costs, ongoing updates, and outreach to care providers. Every contribution directly supports keeping Hospet online and improving the tools available to families.
3. Share Your Feedback
Your experiences help shape what Hospet becomes. If there’s something you wish the app did better, or a feature that could make it more helpful, please share it by emailing us at support@hospet.app.
4. Support Local Providers
If you know of a compassionate veterinarian, doula, or shelter that might benefit from offering Hospet to their clients, let them know about Hospet Connect. The more providers who use it, the more families can receive thoughtful, connected care.
Every act of support—whether sharing, donating, or simply using Hospet with love—helps ensure that no one has to navigate end-of-life decisions alone.
Thank you for being part of this mission, for loving your animals so deeply, and for helping keep Hospet a safe and compassionate space for others walking the same path.
