Signs It May Be Time to Say Goodbye
How do you know it’s truly the end of the road? We understand this final decision is very personal and difficult, but that doesn’t mean you are alone. Our team may recommend veterinary euthanasia when a pet’s quality of life is severely compromised by illness, injury, or advanced age, and there is little hope for recovery or improvement. If you are unsure about your pet’s situation, we are here to discuss it with you and help you come to an informed decision. Here are some signs that may indicate your pet is ready for a pet euthanasia consultation:
- Being withdrawn and quiet
- Avoiding physical contact
- Excessive panting or shaking
- Crying or yelping
- Difficulty breathing
- Confusion
- Not eating or drinking
- Change in toilet habits or accidents
Our Modern & Compassionate Process
Our gentle cat and dog euthanasia process is carefully managed to ensure that both the pet and the owner are treated with dignity and respect. We can provide a thorough wellness exam that will see your pet carefully checked from head to tail, with bloodwork as an option for added detail to ensure that end-of-life services are the viable option at this moment. If we determine that veterinary euthanasia is the prudent option, our focused team will provide a detailed explanation of our process, including what to expect and how to prepare for the procedure.
We are caring pet parents, just like you. Our team is dedicated to making you and your pet feel comfortable during this sensitive time, allowing you to be present with your furry loved one for the duration of the procedure. We utilize general anesthesia, ensuring that your pet is relaxed and embraces all services with grace and in good spirits. Our veterinarian and staff will give you as much time and space as you need following the procedure before we discuss the next steps and if we can fulfill any special requests you have.
Cat & Dog Euthanasia FAQs
We understand this is far from an easy process, and our compassionate team is prepared to address any questions, concerns, or requests you present to us. Our friendly veterinarian and staff will never leave you in the dark regarding the procedural steps and the materials we use. Frequently asked questions about cat and dog euthanasia include:
This answer varies based on a variety of factors. Cats and dogs are generally considered geriatric at the age of 7, while larger animals normally have a shorter lifespan and are often considered to be geriatric at age 6.
Not at all. We are devoted to keeping your pet comfortable as they enter our practice and throughout the process. Our gentle team utilizes reliable sedation methods to put your pet into a deep sleep before administering the injection to begin the peaceful passing.
Yes. We recommend you feed them their favorite treats in smaller portions before the procedure as the anesthesia may make them nauseous. Additionally, feeding them snacks they love when in our care and letting them see your familiar, loving face could help them stay happy, comfortable, and distracted as we administer the sedatives.
