There are several options available which you can explore with me prior to or at our home visit. After the euthanasia has been performed, if you choose to have your pet cremated, we will transport your pet to a third-party crematorium facility. Your pet’s remains will then be placed in an urn or honorary container.

Commonly Asked Questions
How do I know if at home euthanasia is right for me?
More and more people choose the at-home euthanasia option because it has many advantages. For example, for pets who are too large or too weak to travel to your veterinary clinic, or who become anxious when brought to the clinic, at home euthanasia is the best option. The more sensitive your pet is, the more being at home during their final moments can help with their passing.
What if I already have a regular veterinary clinic I go to?
We have relationships with several veterinary clinics in the area and are happy to communicate with your veterinarian. We are not trying to replace your home clinic. We provide a specialized service that often involves a one-time visit to your home and a follow-up meeting (eg delivering of remains if cremation is requested).
What if I want to consult you prior to deciding if I want to use the peaceful and painless process of at-home euthanasia?
If you are unsure of your pets’ quality of life or if you would like to meet us prior to the euthanasia visit, you may call me to discuss your questions. I will be guide you towards the right decision for your pet, which is not always euthanasia.
