How do I know if my pet should be euthanized?

When it comes to end-of-life services like euthanasia, the choice will ultimately be up to you and your loved ones. If you need further guidance, your veterinarian can explain with you the many routes that you can take and if euthanasia is truly the best option. Some factors that may help you in your decision-making are: if your pet can no longer eat, drink or have bodily functions without external help if they are in chronic pain or if they are no longer responsive to treatments for their health conditions.

Is pet euthanasia painful?

Absolutely not. Humane deaths for pets are 100% pain-free. Euthanasia is administered via injection, and often feels like any other vaccine or shot for your pet. The medication works quickly and will put your pet in a peaceful sleep. Once unconscious, it will cause your pet’s internal organs to systematically shut down.

Can I stay with my pet during their euthanasia?

Yes. You will have the opportunity to say your final goodbyes to your furry family member. Our team tries as much as possible to create a warm and comforting area for you and all members of your family.
