Welcome To In-Home Pet Loss

The word euthanasia means good death. We understand the great responsibility that comes with ending the life of a beloved family member.

AT HOME EUTHANASIA SERVICES INCLUDE:

– A discussion with you about your concerns, thoughts, or questions surrounding pet euthanasia.
– Mild sedation to ease any discomfort. Our goal is to make your pet calm and comfortable.
– Euthanasia, the final gift.
– Cremation.
– Notification to your family veterinarian of your pet’s passing if you desire.

We are proud to serve Chardon, Concord, Painesville, Mentor, Willoughby in Ohio and Aiken in South Carolina and surrounding areas.

THE APPOINTMENT

The entire procedure will be explained once the veterinarian arrives. Feel free to ask questions. Everything will be done at the pace you and your pet dictate.

The actual procedure is quite simple and peaceful. An injection of a sedative is given to ensure your pet is comfortable. Once you and your pet are ready, the final euthanasia medication is given. It works very rapidly. The veterinarian will then confirm that your pet has passed.

After passing you may continue to spend as much time with your pet as you need. The doctor will excuse himself for a few minutes to give you time alone, then return and transport your pet to the car.

Information on how and when your pet’s ashes will be ready to come home will be discussed by the doctor.
