Once you have decided it is time for your pets passing, or if you have questions about this decision, we will set up a phone conversation to answer any questions, go over what to expect and set up an appointment if appropriate. We may also ask for your permission to collect records from your veterinarian. Following our phone conversation we will set up our in person appointment.  Please feel free to ask for any special requests to make the process the most comfortable for you and your pet.  To remove distraction during your goodbyes charges will be sent and can be collected before our appointment. The consent form can also be completed prior to arrival. Charges will be completely refunded if circumstances change.

On the day of the appointment, we will arrive via the most convenient entrance. We'll introduce ourselves to your pet and set up in a chosen location, such as outdoors, on the couch, or on their favorite bed. When you are ready, we will administer a small sedative injection. If you opted for pre-appointment oral sedatives, you will be instructed to give them one hour before the appointment. After the intramuscular injection, your pet will gently fall asleep. Once we confirm they are calm, relaxed, and comfortable, we will place an intravenous catheter. When you are ready, a euthanasia solution will be injected through the catheter. Once the euthanasia solution is injected, your animal will pass quickly without feeling any pain, stress, or discomfort. Animals may take a deep breath after the injection, stretch, urinate or defecate, or keep their eyes open. These are natural bodily responses and not signs of pain or discomfort. The doctor will confirm your pet’s passing and allow you time to grieve.

If you would like us to arrange aftercare, we will carry your pet to the car when you are ready. We will manage your chosen aftercare plans and return your pet's ashes if requested. Please ask if you have questions at any point during this process.

We advise against backyard burial of euthanized pets due to environmental risks.
