Pet End-of-Life Care
Compassionate and Respectful End-of-Life Care for Your Beloved Pet
At Locust Trace Veterinary Clinic we offer a pet euthanasia service that provides compassionate and respectful end-of-life care for your beloved pet. We are here to support you and your pet through this challenging time and help you say goodbye in a dignified and peaceful way.
Our Pet Euthanasia Procedure
During the euthanasia procedure, our caring team will take every measure to ensure your pet’s comfort and peace. While we understand that discussing the specifics of the procedure can be difficult, we want to assure you that our veterinarians are highly trained and experienced in performing this delicate process.
Consultation and Evaluation
To begin the process, you’ll need to book a consultation with one of our euthanasia specialists. The veterinarian will inquire about your pet’s history, condition, and overall quality of life, and thoroughly discuss with you various options and alternatives for your pet’s care, such as palliative care, hospice care, or euthanasia.
Preparation and Procedure
You have the option to choose the location where the euthanasia will take place – either at our clinic or in the comfort of your own home. Additionally, you have the freedom to decide who you wish to have present during this moment
Regarding the procedure itself, rest assured that it is both swift and painless. To ensure your pet’s tranquility, first, we will administer a sedative that will induce a state of calmness and relaxation and then we will place an IV catheter.
Following this, we will gently inject euthanasia medicine, causing their heart and breathing to cease within seconds. We will diligently monitor your pet’s vital signs throughout the process and confirm their passing.
Aftercare and Support
Rest assured that we will handle your pet’s body with utmost care and respect, honoring your wishes regarding their final arrangements, whether cremation or burial. Additionally, we’ll offer you a special keepsake, such as a paw print or a lock of hair, as a cherished memento of your companion.
Support During a Difficult Time
Our compassionate team is here to lend an empathetic ear, attentively listening to your feelings and concerns while assisting you in navigating the grieving process. Should you require additional support, we can also provide valuable referrals that can aid in your healing journey, such as support groups, experienced counselors, or helpful literature.
