Our Process

Schedule an appointment
After you have scheduled a appointment we will call and discuss your at home euthanasia visit.

Arrival
The doctor will meet your dog or cat and discuss the procedure, perform a physical exam, answer any questions you may have.

Sedation
The doctor will administer a sedative to help with any discomfort or anxiety before administering the euthanasia solution.

Euthanasia
Once the patient is sedated usually taking 8-10 minutes, the doctor will then administer the euthanasia solution that stops the heart. The doctor will then listen to the heart and inform the client if the patient has passed. The process is painless, gentle, and peaceful.

Aftercare
You have the options such as burial at home, dog/cat cemetery burial, communal cremation, individual cremation, and aquamation
