When the time comes to say goodbye to our beloved pets, we want them to be calm, comfortable and stress free in their home, where they feel safe and secure. |
What to expectWhen you decide the time is right to end your pet's suffering I can come to your home to provide a gentle and compassionate euthanasia (put to sleep) for them. This can be done in the house or enclosed garden.
I will always provide sedation for them as I strongly believe in helping them pass as peacefully as possible. This will most commonly be with a simple injection under the skin (like a vaccine) with a very fine needle, so they can gently fall asleep over the next 10-15 minutes. For some nervous, fearful, reactive or aggressive pets we have the option of giving some sedation by mouth/in food before I even come in the home if there is a risk of them being upset by my presence or the injection. It is very important to me that your pet does not feel stressed or afraid during their last moments. This pre-sedation by mouth would need to be pre-arranged as it takes longer for the effect to work. The final injection will be given once your pet is fully sedated and asleep, and your pet will peacefully pass away within a few minutes of this. This will usually be given into a vein, but in some cases it may have to be given into their tummy. |
