Euthanasia is a gentle , medically supervised way to prevent further suffering when a pet's quality of life has declined . It allows them to pass peacefully in a familiar , loving environment - on the favourite bed , in a sunny spot, or surrounded by family.

What to expect before euthanasia ?

1. A supportive conversation

We begin with a brief discussion about your pet's current condition, comfort level, and any concerns you may have.

2. Understanding the process 

We explain or email you the different steps involved during anesthesia .

3. Choosing a peaceful location at home

Before the visit, think about where your pet is most comfortable:

-Their favourite bed

-A sunny window

-Your lap or arms 

-A quite room with soft lightning.

A familiar space creates a calm, comforting environment for both you and your pet .

4. Time to say goodbye

We encourage you to spend as much time as you need with your pet before we begin.

Some families choose soft music, favourite treats, or simply quiet time.

There is no rush- this moment belongs entirely to you.

5. Preparing for aftercare 

If you choose cremation or keepsakes, we discuss:

- Private or communal cremation

- Paw Prints ( Ink or Clay)

- Fur clipping

-Urns or memorial items

This ensures everything is organized so the process feels gentle and seamless.

6. Emotional support 

It is normal to feel anxious, sad, or unsure. We are here to support you with empathy, patience, and understanding.

You are not alone during this journey.

What to expect during euthanasia ?

When we arrive, we will introduce ourselves to all the family member's and will explain the procedure ensuring everyone is comfortable .  We will complete some paperwork needed to commence the procedure and answer any questions you have related to the procedure .

Mild Sedation first - We begin with a mild sedative before any minor procedures, such as placing an intravenous catheter .This helps to relax your pet and relieve any anxiety or stress .Your pet may appear sleepy or drowsy but remains comfortable and responsive .

Full sedation before euthanasia - Once your pet is calm and comfortable, we give an additional sedative to deepen relaxation. At this stage , your pet is completely relaxed and unaware of the final injection.This ensures the euthanasia procedure is completely peaceful and pain- free.

Humane euthanasia medication - Then the humane euthanasia medication is given intravenously .

Checking for completion- After the medication has taken effect and your pet is peacefully at rest, the veterinarian gently checks your pets heartbeat and breathing to confirm the procedure is complete .This is done calmly and respectfully, allowing your pet to remain undisturbed while confirming a safe and peaceful passing.

After care options

We can arrange respectful aftercare to honour your pet's memory. You may choose :

Individual Cremation-Your pet is cremated individually, and their ashes are returned in a chosen urn or keepsake.

Communal cremation-Your pet is cremated with others, and ashes are not returned.

If You choose private cremation , One standard urn and ink paw print is included in the euthanasia cost . Any additional keepsakes or upgraded urns are available at an extra charge.
