Sometimes, everything that can be done is, perhaps, not what should be done. Each animal and situation is different. Sometimes, a little short term distress or upset may be worth enduring if the outcome enhances your pet's life. Inevitably, through either illness or aging, a pet is no longer able to cope with day to day life. When decision time comes, we will help you, although we cannot make this decision for you.
Euthanasia means the voluntary ending of an individual's life. Those who have watched a pet fall quickly asleep and then, seconds later, seen the heart stop, will realise this is a good way to die. It is the last gift that you will give to your pet to show your love for them. |
The euthanasia procedure is very simple and quick. An overdose of anaesthetic is administered to your pet. The animal very quickly falls asleep and, within seconds, the heart stops. You may either choose to be present or you may leave us to take care of this for you. Likewise, euthanasia can be carried out at home or at the Vet Hospital.
If you wish, cremation can be arranged or you may wish to take your pet home for a private burial. Alternatively, you may leave them with us for disposal. |
