In-home euthanasia appointments typically last between 30-60 minutes. The end-of-life setting can be very private and simple if you wish. Or it can involve friends and family, other pets, sharing photos, and telling favorite stories. Some people choose to be in the room every step of the way. Others prefer to step out. Rest assured that we go through the same steps, and will treat your pet with love and respect, whether you are in the room or not. There is no right or wrong way to say goodbye to your pet.

The euthanasia process starts with an injection of sedative that most pets accept with minimal discomfort. Once your pet is peacefully resting, the next step is IV placement and final injection of medication to stop their heart. Your veterinarian will explain each step and proceed at the pace that feels right for you.

Aftercare options include: Private cremation, Communal cremation, and Home burial. Cremation services are offered through Final Gift Pet Memorial Center and include transportation. If you select private cremation, you will be called when your pet’s ashes are available for pick up. You may also choose to keep your pet’s body for home burial. Please refer to local municipal codes regarding burial of animal remains. See pricing below.
