The euthanasia process takes approximately 15-20 mins, we allow 45-60 mins for the appointment but follow your lead to pace the process so you will not feel rushed or pressured. The first step is a subcutaneous injection of sedation. Once your pet is comfortably sleeping the next step is an anesthetic administered intravenously. Your pet’s heart and breathing will stop while they are sleeping.
Dr McCulloch requests medical records prior to all visits. Dr. McCulloch will make a physical assessment of your pet, discuss their signs and address your concerns. This may reveal other available treatment options.
Why in home pet euthanasia?
Whether the conversation starts at the vet or at home, we want to ensure our families have considerable time and support to process this decision and grieve. When it is time to say goodbye we will ensure your pet has a tranquil and peaceful experience in the privacy and comfort of home surrounded by those who love them
