Request an AppointmentWhat Are Subcutaneous Fluids?
Subcutaneous (SQ) fluids are sterile fluids administered under the skin to improve hydration and support organ function. This method allows fluids to be absorbed gradually into the bloodstream.
Veterinarians often prescribe subcutaneous fluids for:
- Chronic kidney disease
- Dehydration
- Post-illness recovery
- Senior cats and dogs with reduced hydration levels
- Certain metabolic conditions
All fluids must be prescribed by a licensed veterinarian. ARF! Massage assists only with administration, not diagnosis or prescription.
Benefits of In-Home Subcutaneous Fluid Administration
Administering fluids at home offers important advantages:
- Reduced stress compared to clinic visits
- Comfort in a familiar setting
- Consistent hydration support
- Improved compliance with treatment plans
- Greater convenience for guardians
For senior or mobility-limited companions, in-home fluid therapy reduces the physical strain of travel.

Professional assistance helps ensure:
- Proper needle placement
- Correct fluid volume
- Calm, low-stress handling
- Monitoring for comfort
