Talking about death is a skill that takes empathy, openness, non-judgment, and compassion. And we consider it a privilege to have these tough conversations with people leading up to their pet's euthanasia at home. Here at Colman Veterinary Services we’ll tell you that the discussion of when to say goodbye is the hardest but most important conversation to have. 

 

Our in-home pet euthanasia services include:

• A discussion about your concerns, thoughts, or questions surrounding in-home euthanasia.

• Sedation to ease discomfort; you deserve your final memory of your pet to be calm and comfortable.

• Euthanasia, the final gift.

• Transportation for cremation, if selected.

Step by step appointment information:

Once Dr. McNeil arrives, the full procedure will be explained to you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions along the way.

 

A sedation injection will be given to your pet to ensure they're comfortable. This way, the procedure for the final injection, is painless and peaceful. When appropriate, we will leave your home and allow you to grieve in private. Dr. McNeil will talk you through the entire euthanasia process. Please feel free to ask any questions to help you feel as comfortable as possible.

 

After the final euthanasia medication is given, Dr. McNeil will confirm that your pet has peacefully passed on. This is, of course, the most delicate moment of our time with you.

 

When appropriate, we will leave your home and allow you to grieve in private. (Aftercare options and information on how and when your pet’s ashes will be ready to come home will be discussed in detail when you schedule the appointment.)
