Knowing when an animal would benefit the most from a humane euthanasia is never easy. Our doctors are here to help answer the question
IS IT TIME?
An appointment allows the doctor to see the mental and physical state your pet is in to make the suggestion accurately. Do understand that you are not forced to make any decisions on the spot. For many of us, we need time to think things over, and that’s okay.
We love your pets as much as you do, and euthanasias are never easy. But we’re here to help you make that call and keep the process as calm and easy as possible. Here is what you can expect when it comes time:
Paperwork & Process
Someone will be in shortly to go over paperwork and to discuss euthanasia and body care options. We hate to discuss money, especially at a time like this, so we try to make payment as easy as possible for you. If you’d like, they can take your card and process the payment for you. We will accommodate to whatever you need during this time. For some, this may be your first euthanasia, and we do not want to keep you in the dark. And for others, you are far too familiar with the process. Either way, we are here to make this as easy as possible.
Sedation
Your veterinarian will discuss the process of sedation with you.
Goodbyes
A veterinarian will discuss if they’re having any difficulty and explain what they are doing throughout the process. Remember, you are more than welcome to spend as much time with your pet as you wish.
Remembered
After you have left the room, your technician will return and respectfully cover your pet’s body with a soft blanket. There are many ways to remember a lost pet, please talk to your technician about our options.
