Why Pet Euthanasia At Home?For many pets, travel to the vet’s office can create anxiety. There are unfamiliar smells and sounds, and they may anticipate some discomfort depending on past experiences or their own temperament. For some pets, the car trip itself can be a stressful or painful event.
When it comes to their final moments, we want your pet to be as peaceful and as pain free as possible. At home, they can rest in their comfort zone surrounded by everything familiar. If they have trouble walking, we can come to them in their favorite spot, avoiding the stress of moving them.
Choosing home euthanasia can help ease your burden as well. You can choose to be there by yourself or with as many family members as you would like. You will be in the privacy of your home, and won’t need to worry about the drive home afterward. By avoiding the hospital setting, things tend to feel a bit less clinical, which can help you focus on your pet and family in this important moment.
Euthanasia is a major transition for you and your beloved pet. Whatever you choose, know that you are doing so with love and compassion for your furry family member.
