Dog & Cat Euthanasia At Home In High Wycombe. Letting You Say Goodbye Peacefully

What to expect during Gentle At-Home Euthanasia

1. Unrushed Discussion

The gentle euthanasia process will be clearly explained and your questions will be answered. When your Vet arrives, attending to your pet’s welfare takes immediate priority.

2. Pre-Sedation – Drifting into Calm Sleep

Our Caring Home Visit Vet will come to your home at a time convenient to you. When you are ready, your Vet will administer a gentle sedative in such a way that your pet will barely notice. This is not a painful or distressing process, your pet simply drifts into a peaceful sleep.

3. Pass Away Gently and Peacefully

The next stage of the tried and tested process involves giving your pet an anaesthetic agent that causes their heart to slow and then gently stop. They pass away peacefully. This process is very gentle, humane and generally a calmer and more tranquil one than can be delivered at a clinic.

4. Aftercare

It is entirely your decision what happens next. If you know that you want a cremation you can arrange this with our Care Coordinators. However you can also discuss this with your Vet whilst they are at your home and they can help you make all the arrangements.

All our Vets are, of course, members of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and work in conjunction with your local veterinary surgery to give you extra peace of mind.

Jennifer Harrison on gentle at-home pet euthanasia and how to know if it is the right time

“You know your pet best, you are the best judge of what their life is like at any given time”

Dr. Jeniffer Harrison

The process itself is completely painless. Your pet will feel only a small pinprick of the first needle, which is an anaesthetic which puts them peacefully to sleep. You can hold their paw for the entire time if you like, knowing that they’re able to stay where they’ve been happiest rather than make the stressful trip to your local surgery. Putting a dog down or putting a cat to sleep is a heartrending consideration at any time – even when you know that their daily lives are incredibly painful and difficult. That’s why your caring home visit vet will always be highly experienced in pet end of life care, perfectly placed to advise you. If you have any concerns about the process of pet euthanasia itself or the cost of putting a dog to sleep, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Cat and dog euthanasia costs are related to the size of your pet, so if you need to know more we’ll be glad to set your mind at ease.

Sometimes, a peaceful end is the last gift you can give to your beloved pet. Pet euthanasia is a gentle and caring process which prevents your much-loved animal companion from suffering unnecessarily in their final days. All they’ll be aware of is that they’re in the loving atmosphere and comfortable environment in which they’ve lived their lives. Our Vets come to you in person, always being sure to take all steps possible to keep your pet relaxed and calm throughout the process.
