How does euthanasia work?

Euthanasia is a peaceful and quick process that occurs in two stages. First, a sedative is administered to relax and gently put your pet to sleep. Once your pet is asleep, a final injection is given to gently stop their heart.

Will my pet suffer during euthanasia?

No, euthanasia is designed to be a painless and stress-free process for your pet. The medications used are carefully dosed to ensure a peaceful passing, free from discomfort.

Can I be present during the euthanasia?

We encourage you to be present during your pet’s euthanasia, as it can provide you with comfort and allow you to say goodbye in a private moment. If you prefer not to be present, we will respect your decision. In this case, please be assured that our staff will be with your pet during the euthanasia, accompanying them with gentleness and compassion as if they were our own.
