In-Home Euthanasia 

Pets are family and saying goodbye to them comes with many emotions and decisions. We want to make this process as simple as possible so we can give your pet a passing that is peaceful and pain-free. Our in-home service allows your pet to be where they are most comfortable. 

What to Expect

A calming agent will be given prior to the euthanasia procedure. We will walk you through what to expect but most pets relax in 10 - 15 minutes and are under anesthesia. Then the euthanasia solution will be administered and the doctor will listen to the pet’s heart to let you know they have passed. 

HOw do I know when it is Time?

This is the most frequently asked question is and we want to answer any questions you have and give you guidance on this important decision. A teleconsult allows us to discuss your pet’s condition and talk through your concerns with the veterinarian.
