About the Process
In-Home Pet Euthanasia Services
In addition to traditional domestic pets like dogs and cats, I have a wide scope of experience and understand that some animals, including livestock, are pets to many. These services include, but are not limited to, goats, sheep, chickens, exotic birds, pigs, and cows. In certain instances, such as livestock, handling of your pet afterward will require coordination with a hauling service that I can organize at the owner’s request.
About the Process
- PRE-EUTHANASIA CONSULTATION: The home visit includes a discussion and consultation on quality of life at the family’s request. Dr. Megan will also give a full explanation about the euthanasia process and care of your pet afterward. A pre-euthanasia consultation is not required to schedule euthanasia.
- PRE-EUTHANASIA SEDATION AND ANESTHESIA: This is to provide your beloved pet with a comfortable and relaxed transition. The sedation will make your pet sleepy and relaxed and will take less than 5 minutes. Once the anesthesia takes effect, your pet will be completely under anesthesia and unaware of anything after that.
- EUTHANASIA: After the sedation and anesthesia, an intravenous catheter is placed, and a medication that is painless and gentle is given when you and your pet are ready.
