End of Life Care
Understanding End of Life Care Decisions
Saying goodbye to a pet is difficult. Our team can help you understand your pet’s condition, discuss comfort care and talk through whether euthanasia may be appropriate.
We begin with a consultation and aim to offer an appointment as soon as possible, often on the same day. We’ll explain our medical recommendation, answer your questions and give you a quiet room to discuss the next steps.
You can choose to stay with your pet during the procedure. We’ll discuss sedation based on your pet’s needs and explain how we aim to keep them as calm and comfortable as possible.
A veterinary technician will place an IV catheter as part of the procedure. Our front office team will explain the paperwork, cremation options and payment so you know what to expect.
When you are ready, the veterinarian will administer the euthanasia medication. Your pet will become unconscious before passing away. We’ll explain what may happen during the procedure and remain available to support you.
Afterward, you can spend time saying goodbye. Faithful Companion is our preferred pet cremation service, and our team can explain the aftercare arrangements. If your pet dies at home, you can contact Faithful Companion directly.
If you have questions about your pet’s comfort, euthanasia or aftercare, contact our team. You can also read about our hospice care and euthanasia support.
