Euthanasia
At Vetcierge, we understand how difficult it is to say goodbye to your beloved pets. That’s why we specialize in providing in-home euthanasia and hospice care services, focusing on a peaceful and respectful transition for your furry friends. Our compassionate team is here to support you through this difficult time.
Knowing when to make the decision can be difficult. We will help review any questions and concerns prior to an appointment to guide you. If the goal is to allow your pet to pass away at home, in their sleep, surrounded by family, the decision may need to be made before you feel fully ready in order to avoid an emergency or decline.
Upon our arrival for the scheduled visit, please select an area where your pet feels at ease for us to prepare. Before administering any medications, we will fully explain the process and answer any questions.
The in-home euthanasia process involves a two-injection technique. The first injection is a sedative to help induce a relaxed, restful, and pain-free state. Once comfortable and sedate, the second injection is administered, allowing your pet to gently, peacefully, and immediately pass away in their sleep.
Aftercare
For the aftercare of your pet, we partner with Final Gift Pet Memorial Center to manage arrangements. Final Gift provides options for private or communal cremation. With private cremation, you can expect to receive your pet’s ashes in about 1-2 weeks. If you opt for communal cremation, ashes will not be returned, and your pet will be respectfully laid to rest at Final Gift’s Pet Cemetery.
With either option, we can provide special memorials of your pet, including clay paw impressions, ink nose and paw prints, fur clippings, and more.
