Knowing when it is time can be one of the most difficult decisions a pet owner faces. We can help you evaluate your pet’s quality of life by looking at factors such as pain, mobility, appetite, hydration, breathing, comfort, and their ability to enjoy the things they love. You do not have to make this decision alone.

Our goal is to make the experience as a peaceful and comfortable as possible for both you and your pet. We will explain each step beforehand, answer your questrions, and give you as much time as you need to say goodbye.

Absolutely. You are welcome to remain with your pet throughout the process. We encourage you to spend as much time as you need with them before and after their passing.

After your pet has passed, we will give you private time to say goodbye. We will handle your pet with care and dignity and discuss aftercare options with you beforehand so you can focus on your pet rather than making difficult decisions in the moment.

We offer several aftercare options, which may include communal or private cremation. Private cremation allows you to have you pet’s ashes returned to you. We will explain the available options and help you choose what feels right for your family.

Depending on the circumstances, bringing another pet can be a meaningful part of saying goodbye. Please let our team know ahead of time so we can help determine what will be the most comfortable for everyone.

The cost of euthanasia depends on factors such as your pet’s size, the services selected, and aftercare arrangements. We are happy to discuss costs with you ahead of time so there are no surprises.

It is completely okay to be unsure. If you are noticing changes in your pet and wondering whether their quality of life has declined, please reach out to us. A quality of life conversation with your veterinary team can help you understand what your pet may be experiencing and what options are available.

There is no right or wrong way to prepare. Some families bring a favorite blanket, or toy. You may also want to think about who you would like present and what aftercare option feels right for you. Most importantly, give yourself permission to grieve and take the time you need to say goodbye.
