Euthanasia Services for Pets

Euthanasia is a humane decision that helps pets cross the rainbow bridge peacefully. We understand how meaningful your pet is to you and your family, which makes losing them difficult. Our team recommends euthanasia for pets suffering from chronic disease or pain and have no treatments that can make their life easier. As a veterinary care team, we can spot the signs when your pet’s quality of life is declining. 

How does euthanasia work in pets?

Our team will begin by giving your pet a sedative to relax them. We then administer the medication through an injection which takes effect almost immediately. Your pet won’t feel any pain, they will become unconscious, and their brain and heart will stop working.

What support is available to help me cope with the loss of my pet?

Losing your loyal companion can impact you in ways you couldn’t have imagined. Grief can be overwhelming and consume various aspects of your life. When mourning the loss of your pet, it’s important you have support.
