Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when it's time?
The right moment to decide on euthanasia is different for every person and their pet. It is a very personal and challenging decision. How can a pet owner prepare for the euthanasia of their pet?
Can you explain the procedure?
Some pet owners would rather wait for death to take place naturally than decide to euthanize. However, it can be painful watching your pet suffer, and many terminal diseases can lead to a long and painful end.
What happens after the procedure?
This is an extremely upsetting question - most of us don’t even want to about it. However, thinking about aftercare helps ensure that your pet's remains are handled according to your preferences.
Why put your pet down at home
instead of a vet clinic?
▸ Reduce anxiety and fear. Your pet will be familiar with their surroundings at the time of the euthanasia. This adds a sense of comfort and familiarity to the experience.
▸ You’re in your own home during a stressful time. You do not have to speak to people who you do not know during the experience, and can have loved ones close by.
▸ Your pet may not be able to move or be transported into the car. Staying at home is more convenient and decreases the stress associated with transporting your pet to a clinic.
▸ You may have mobility or transportation issues. You may be unable to get your pet to a clinic when it’s necessary.
▸ There is time for Dr. Rosen to explain everything fully. You will have as much time as you need before the procedure to ask questions and after the procedure to say your goodbyes.
▸ Your pet will be able to enjoy their last moments at home surrounded by those they love. This includes family members, friends, children, and other pets.
▸ You can do the procedure wherever they are most comfortable. This euthanasia can take place on their bed, their favourite room, or outside under a favourite tree.
▸ You can have soft music and dim lighting indoors, or have the euthanasia outside on a blanket. Being in a relaxing and familiar setting will help make saying goodbye to your best friend and family member a little bit easier.
