Compassionate at Home Euthanasia

There is no doubt that this is one of the most difficult decisions you have ever faced in your life. You have loved your friend, played with him/her, laughed, cried... maybe even gotten mad a couple of times. You have shared moments that will stay in your heart forever.

Today you are trying to decide whether or nor the time to say good-bye has arrived. There is no magic formula to determine when the right time is. As pet parents the answer is simple, there is never a good time to say good-bye, we want them forever by our sides. But we love them so much that we know at one point we have to make the difficult decision and consider what is best for them.

Knowing when the right time is can be difficult and each case is different. By clicking here you can find some resources to help guide you as you navigate this challenging time. We also offer At Home Quality of life assessment if these resources are not enough for you and your family.

Gentle humane euthanasia is a loving decision when your beloved pet's quality of life has been impacted, when there is a progressive non-treatable disease, or a terminal disease.

We understand that losing your beloved pet is the equivalent to losing a family member. We understand the pain you and your family will experience and the immense loss. One of the benefits of at-home euthanasia is that you will be able to grieve in the tranquility of your home. We will be there with you to support you in every step of the way, you can find some information about loss on "Coping with the Loss of a Beloved Pet"
