We all hope for a peaceful end to our pet’s lives. Most of us love our pets like family and many of us form bonds with our pets that can’t be described with words. We want their final moments to be calm and without fear or pain. Most pets are nervous at a veterinary office and losing a pet can be a very personal and emotional experience, made worse by being in public. Keeping your pet in the familiar surroundings of home will make the entire process as stress free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved. As your pet’s journey comes to an end, consider in-home euthanasia as a final act of kindness.
