Our Process
-
We start with a thoughtful evaluation of your pet’s condition and well-being. We’ll discuss your concerns, assess their quality of life, and provide guidance on the best path forward—whether it’s continuing hospice care or preparing for euthanasia.
-
Once a decision is made, we’ll work with you to schedule a time that aligns with your family’s needs. We’ll also provide instructions on how to prepare your home and create a calm, supportive environment for your pet.
-
When it’s time for the procedure, we focus on making the experience as gentle and stress-free as possible for your pet. We begin by administering a sedative to help your pet relax and feel calm. This allows them to drift into a peaceful, pain-free state while you provide comfort and reassurance. Once your pet is fully relaxed, we proceed with the final injection, which is a painless process that ensures a dignified and peaceful passing. Throughout the procedure, we’re there to guide you, answer any questions, and give your pet the care they deserve.
-
Following the procedure, we’ll guide you through your options for aftercare, such as private or communal cremation services. We can also help create keepsakes, like paw prints or fur clippings, to honor your pet’s memory. Our goal is to provide ongoing support and help you navigate this emotional time with compassion and understanding.
