In-Home Euthanasia

Euthanasia is the practice of ending a pet’s life in a painless, dignified and humane manner.  The word euthanasia originates from the Greek language and translates as “good death.”  Choosing in-home pet euthanasia allows you to be more involved and comfortable in every aspect of your pet’s final moments.  It allows you and others who care for your pet to be present and grieve in private. It also avoids the stress and/or pain your pet may experience when being transported to a veterinary clinic, especially when your pet’s mobility or your ability to move him or her may be a factor.  Gathering in your home allows you the opportunity to impart your individual touch to the proceedings, such as  memorial services, poems, and religious customs and practices.  In-home euthanasia allows your beloved companion to spend their final moments at home where he or she would prefer to be.  Please follow the links below for more information.
