Compassionate Pet
Euthanasia at Home
Gentle pet euthanasia at home is the perfect way to softly say goodbye to your closest animal friends.
Pet Euthanasia
We will always discuss which methods will best suit your and your pet’s needs and wishes, and we can provide you with as much information as you wish at your request. Some of our clients are concerned about how much pet euthanasia costs – we always strive to provide an option which prioritises the comfort of your pet in their final hours without adding an unnecessary burden to your wallet. The only time when we add anything extra onto your bill will be when you need an emergency vet during unsociable hours. This is because we need to keep one of our caring vets on-call at all hours.
Caring Help and Support 7 days a week
We have many years’ experience of compassionately helping families whose pets are approaching the end of their life. We are available to respectfully discuss your needs 7 days a week, with our telephone lines open 13 hours a day, from 7 am until 8 pm, and it is even possible to arrange home visits at times outside of these hours. If the time has come to put your cat to sleep, being in the secure and familiar environment of your own home is a great comfort, reducing stress for both your pet and your family.
What to expect during Gentle Euthanasia At Home
The main thing to remember is that your pet will not feel any pain. They may notice a little pinprick as the sedative is administered; we do not need to shave any of their fur. The effects of the sedative will be noticed instantly in most cases, but for some unusually robust, dehydrated or ill pets it can take a little longer. The second injection, which contains anaesthetic, will only be given when your pet is already in a deep sleep.
This helps them to pass away gently without realising it is happening. When you choose to put your pet to sleep at home, you are avoiding all of the negative aspects of doing it in a veterinary clinic. Your pet will be relaxed and can even be in their own bed if they want to be, and they will not need to have any stressful intravenous injections. In the end, they will simply be going to sleep for the last time.
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.
Calming pre-sedation
When you are ready, your vet will administer a gentle sedative in such a way that your pet will barely notice. Some pets will make a noise, but be assured this is more because they are surprised rather than in pain.
Pass Away Peacefully
The next stage of the process involves giving your pet an anaesthetic agent that causes their heart to slow and then gently stop. They pass away peacefully.
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.
