Services Offered
A Loving Goodbye for Your Dog in Oshawa
The life you’ve shared with your dog in Oshawa is filled with memories—walks along the Harmony Creek Trail, playing at Lakeview Park, or quiet evenings at home. When their health declines, the decision to consider dog euthanasia is a difficult but loving choice to end their pain. It is a final act of devotion to a loyal friend. Our service for putting a dog to sleep at home allows your companion to be in their favourite bed, surrounded by familiar sights and smells, with their family close by. It avoids the anxiety of a clinic visit and allows their last moments to be calm and full of love, a farewell worthy of the joy they’ve brought you.
A Peaceful Passing for Your Cat
Cats cherish the comfort and safety of their own territory. For a cat who is unwell, the journey to a vet’s office can be a source of fear and anxiety. In-home euthanasia is a dignified farewell that honours the special place your cat holds in your family.

Virtual and In-Home Quality-of-Life Assessments

Our Pet Quality-of-Life Scale offers a gentle guide to help you assess your beloved companion’s well-being. It provides a compassionate and objective perspective of their quality of life to complement the advice of your trusted veterinarian. Together, these resources empower you to make informed decisions that truly honour your pet’s comfort and best interests.

Our gentle Process: What to expect
Our promise is to create a serene and supportive experience for your family. When we arrive, we will guide you through the process. A sedative is given first to ensure your pet falls into a deep and comfortable sleep, free from any pain. Once your pet is fully sedated and your family has said their goodbyes, the final injection is administered to allow them to pass away peacefully. The entire process is humane and designed to feel like a gentle transition.

frequently asked questions
What is included in the cost?
The cost for the visit will vary depending on the size of your pet, the distance driven, and other factors such as the need for additional time or medications. The in-home euthanasia service includes the veterinary visit to your home, a brief assessment, and the sedation & euthanasia procedure. Additionally, based on your aftercare selection, the cost may include, cremation, transportation, and keepsakes.
Will you assess my pet upon arrival?
It’s completely natural to question if the time is right. If you need additional clarity, you may find our Quality-of-Life Tool helpful, or you may wish to pursue a Quality-of-life assessment with one of our trusted veterinarians for further guidance.
Should you schedule a euthanasia with us, our veterinarian will briefly assess your companion upon arrival. If they feel euthanasia is not the most appropriate path at this time, they will discuss this openly and honestly with you.
How long does the appointment take?
We understand this is a tender time. Your veterinarian will be present in your home for 30-60 minutes, allowing ample space and time for you to say goodbye and be with your companion in a way that feels most comfortable and peaceful.
Will the vet take my pet with them after the appointment?
During your appointment, the vet will confirm your aftercare selection. If you opt for cremation services, the vet will handle your pet’s transportation from your home and will care for your pet’s body until they are respectfully transferred to the appointed aftercare provider.
Are you available for emergencies?
Peaceful Passing’s priority is to accommodate our patients and we can usually have a veterinarian available for same day emergency visits. However, Peaceful Passing is not a 24 hour emergency service. If this is a serious emergency, we recommend contacting your regular veterinary clinic or the nearest veterinary emergency facility.
