Why Should I Euthanize My Pet At Home?

Traditional office euthanasia can be a stressful experience for both you and your pet. Especially if your pet is in pain, needing to take a car ride or being in an unfamiliar environment can make the transition more difficult for your pet. Our mobile euthanasia vet provides a compassionate way to humanely end your pet’s life in the comfort and familiarity of your home. Being in their favorite spot, surrounded by loved ones, can greatly reduce their stress and anxiety, making their final moments more peaceful. At home, you also have more control over the setting and timing of the procedure, allowing you to take the time you need to say goodbye. 

What to Expect

Our veterinarian will visit your home, discuss your pet’s health concerns, and perform a gentle physical examination. We will discuss the findings with you and help you make the decision about whether our humane mobile pet euthanasia is the right option for this moment. You can trust our veterinarian to explain the process and answer any questions you might have. Our primary goal is to create a relaxing, calm environment for both you and your pet. We’ll give you as much time as you need to say goodbye to your companion before discussing how you would like to handle their remains.   

After euthanasia, we’ll take your pet and arrange all the aftercare options, including cremation services and memorial items. We partner with Until We Meet Again Pet Memorial Center to provide both private and communal cremation services. With private cremation, your pet is cremated separately, and the ashes are returned to you. With communal cremation, your pet is cremated with other animals, and the ashes are spread in a private country meadow in the Fraser Valley. We also offer a variety of pet memorial and keepsake services, such as fur clippings and ink, plaster, or ceramic paw prints. We also offer standard and custom urns.  

FAQS About At-Home Euthanasia

When making the decision to say goodbye to your beloved companion, it’s natural to have many questions about the process. Our compassionate team is here to help you feel confident in your decision. Some common questions about mobile pet euthanasia include:  

How do I know it's time for euthanasia?

Deciding when to euthanize your pet is an incredibly personal and often difficult decision. Signs that it might be time include chronic pain, inability to stand or walk, loss of appetite, and a noticeable decline in quality of life. Our veterinarian will do a compassionate and thorough examination, discuss your pet’s condition, and help you make the right decision.  

Is euthanasia painful?

Our team will sedate your pet to help them experience a pain-free passing.

Can I stay with my pet during the procedure?

 Absolutely. We encourage you to stay with your pet throughout the process, as being present can provide comfort for both you and your pet. Our team also suggests setting up a comfortable space for your pet’s final moments, perhaps with their favorite toys or comfort items.

Should I feed my pet before euthanasia?

It’s entirely up to you whether you feed your pet before euthanasia. Many pet owners choose to feed their companions their favorite foods.
