Why At Home Pet Euthanasia in the Lower East Side?

The word euthanasia is derived from a Greek word (ευθανασία) which translates to “good death”. Our pet’s deserve this in return for all the love and companionship they provide over their lifetime. There comes a time in most pet’s lives when their quality of life begins to fade. They can no longer enjoy the same activities they used to and their body deteriorates despite medical intervention. Determining if it is time to put your animal to sleep is a very emotional decision which takes time and consideration. We are here for you by call, text, or email. There are no fees to consult with a doctor. We want you to be confident that you are making the right choice and have explored all other options. We will typically respond to your inquiries within a few hours.

What to expect for your at home pet euthanasia appointment

Once we arrive for your appointment, you can choose a space where your pet is comfortable for us to set up. Before any drugs are given, we like to discuss the process of dog and cat euthanasia thoroughly. We always give a sedative first to ensure that your pet is completely sedated and sleeping peacefully. This allows you to spend time with your pet before they pass. Most pet owners comment that they haven’t seen their pet this comfortable in months or years. When you are ready, an injectable medication will be given to help them peacefully pass away.

We take care of your pet’s transportation and aftercare in partnership with Final Gift Pet Memorial Center. Final Gift offers both private cremation and communal cremation. If choosing a private cremation, you will typically receive your pet’s ashes back to you in about 1-2 weeks after your appointment in one of six complementary urns of your choosing. If choosing a communal cremation, you will not receive ashes back and your pet’s remains will be placed in Final Gift’s Angel View Pet Cemetery.

Using Final Gift’s paws eTrack system we are able to offer transparency and accountability from pickup to delivery of your pet’s remains. Final Gift also provides 24/7 grief support by phone through their Pet Compassion Careline.

Commonly Asked Questions About At Home Pet Euthanasia

 

Does pet euthanasia hurt?

Not at all. After receiving the initial sedative your pet will be under anesthesia. They will be sleeping peacefully, unaware of their surroundings, and free of any pain.

Should my pets be present during euthanasia?

We recommend allowing other dogs to be present for the entire euthanasia process or having them say goodbye after their housemate has passed. This will often provide closure to co-habitating dogs. Many pets will become anxious in the days following the passing of their housemate. They may search for their friend or seem depressed when not given closure. 

How does pet euthanasia work?

The injectable medication they receive following sedation will turn off their brain signals which will in turn stop the heart and lungs from functioning. 

Can my pet be euthanized if it bit someone?

New York State requires a waiting period of 10 days to ensure the dog has not shown symptoms of rabies. Consult dog bite law euthanasia guidelines for more information.

How long does euthanasia take?

A typical appointment takes anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour. We want you to take as much time as you need with your pet while they are sedated. Once the final injection is given into your pet’s vein, they will pass quickly (10-45 seconds). 

Do I stay with my pet during the euthanasia process?

Yes, we encourage you to be present during the procedure. If you are uncomfortable at any point let us know. There is nothing wrong with stepping away for the final injection if you are uncomfortable. This is your personal decision and we want you to be able to grieve in your own way.
