Pet Euthanasia

The decision to euthanize a beloved pet is one of the hardest choices faced by a pet owner. Our team is here to assist you when a comfortable lifestyle for your pet is unlikely and euthanasia becomes the most compassionate alternative to relieve your pet's pain and discomfort. The procedure involves an intravenous injection of a specially formulated barbiturate anesthetic given at a high concentration or what is considered to be an overdose. The doctor will ensure that the breathing and pulses have halted. The euthanasia is very quick and peaceful and will cause no distress to the patient.

Pet loss can be very challenging, and there are pet loss support groups available throughout the country. If you have specific questions or concerns about euthanasia or you would like more information regarding the diagnosis or treatment of your pet's disease, please contact our veterinarians.
