What will happen during the euthanasia appointment?
There is no special preparation necessary for your pet or home. When we arrive, we will spend a few minutes talking about your pet’s specific situation, answering your questions about the procedure, and discussing the options for aftercare. When everyone is ready, we will go to your pet at a spot that is comfortable and non-threatening. This can be just about anywhere you decide: your lap, your pet’s bed, or even outside under a favorite tree. The euthanasia itself involves an intravenous injection of a very concentrated anesthesia drug. In many cases, we give a sedating shot first, to avoid any stress or discomfort while the IV is being administered. For cats, we always use a sedating shot; for dogs, a decision is made based on your pet’s specific condition and disposition. After the procedure is completed, we will take your pet with us for delivery to the cremation service of your choice, unless you prefer to handle the arrangements yourself.
