What to Expect
The goal of our home euthanasia service is to provide a peaceful and stress free experience for your pet and family.
After arriving at your home, we will take some time to allow your pet to adjust to having a new visitor. Once your pet and family members are comfortable, we will go through any questions that you may have before choosing a special spot around the home for your pet to make their transition (we recommend a spot where they normally feel most comfortable).
Once a special spot has been chosen and your pet is relaxed we will administer a medication that will make them nice and sleepy. Once they’re in a peaceful sleep we’ll clip a small patch of fur on one of their legs and place an IV catheter for smooth administration of their second medication. The second medication is an anaesthetic drug that we use at a high dose - as we administer this medication your pet’s heart will slow down and gently stop - they will have drifted off peacefully.
Once your pet is at rest, we will allow you to spend as much time with them as you need to say your final goodbyes. If requested, we will help with transport of your pet through to the crematorium and organise for a quick return of their ashes.

Before the day
Deciding on euthanasia is always a very difficult decision - you never have to do this alone.
Before organising the euthanasia we will discuss any concerns you have regarding your pet, assess their quality of life and ensure that this is the right decision for both you and your pet.

The Visit
On arrival we will spend some time greeting you and your pet. Once everybody is comfortable, we administer a gentle sedative via a very small injection.
Following the injection your pet will gradually fall into a deep and peaceful sleep. Once they are asleep and completely relaxed we will clip a small piece of fur and place an IV catheter in one of their legs.
Once everyone is ready, we administer a high dose of an anaesthetic medication that allows your pet to drift off peacefully. The process is quick, peaceful and painless.

Aftercare
Following the euthanasia, you will be able to spend some time with your pet to say your last goodbyes.
If you wish for your pet to be cremated, we will organise transport of your pet through to the crematorium and arrange a quick and respectful return of their ashes.
