**If you will be coordinating your pets aftercare, we will be unable to transport your pet from your home.

Deciding when to euthanize a pet is an incredibly difficult decision, but it's often the most compassionate choice when a pet's quality of life is severely compromised. Consider euthanasia:
- When your pet is experiencing persistent pain that cannot be managed
- When they can no longer perform basic activities like eating, drinking, or moving around comfortably, or when they consistently seem unhappy or withdrawn.
- Your primary care veterinarian can help navigate end of life care and provide guidance on making the best decision for your pet.
- We will discuss your pets quality of life at the time of your appointment to ensure that you’re comfortable with the decision and making the best decision for your pet and family.

Humane euthanasia is not painful. Your pet is provided both pain relief and sedation prior to the final medication being administered. This allows them to be as pain free and as relaxed as possible in their final moments.

We encourage allowing your other pets to be with you during the appointment. Pets do understand the loss of a pack member and by allowing them to be present, they will be able to see and process that their friend has passed.

If you have an aggressive pet, we kindly ask that you have them muzzled when we arrive. We will administer sedation and then the muzzle can be removed while the sedation takes effect. If you do not have a muzzle, we will provide one at arrival and will ask that it is placed before we enter your home.

In-home veterinary euthanasia
- Final moments with pets are so important and the memory often lingers with people. Your home is the most comfortable setting for you and your pet, and it can be where your pet spends his final moments—surrounded by the people, animals and things that your cat or dog know best. You can take your time saying goodbye in the familiarity of your home and express your grief in private.
Primary Care Veterinarian
- Your primary care veterinarian knows you and your pet best. This is a great option if you prefer not to have others in your home and would feel most comfortable with a team you already know and are familiar with.
Emergency Hospital
- An emergency hospital is equipped to handle euthanasia at anytime. In the event your pet is suffering, unable to stand or walk, urinate, or having respiratory difficulties this is the best and fastest option to provide comfort to your pet.
