Whether your pet has been diagnosed with a terminal illness or they are approaching their golden years, end-of-life care is one of the most difficult experiences you will face as a pet owner.

Euthanasia

We are here to support you when the time comes, and your compassionate veterinarian has the skills to make this transition more comfortable for your pet. We recommend you call us ahead of time so we can prepare your loved one. Some things we can do to help:

  • Creating a quiet, peaceful space for you and your beloved pet.
  • Admittance from a quiet side door for a more secluded experience.
  • You can bring family and friends with you, if needed, or stay entirely secluded.
  • We offer keepsake services such as fur clipping to help you memorialize your pet.

Talk to us about what you’re looking for: we want to work with you to make this experience as comforting as possible.
