What to expect:
Upon Arrival
Sedation
Your pet deserves a serene and comfortable farewell. The combination of pain medication and sedatives in this injection will gently guide your pet into a tranquil sleep before the administration of the final medication. Some pets may be a bit nervous to begin with and others may not feel overly comfortable with needles. The vet will guide you to hold your pet in a safe and supportive way and to offer distractions to your pet during the brief discomfort from intramuscular injection. Oral medications can be prescribed that may calm your dog or cat prior to the vet’s arrival. This is often a good idea for very nervous pets and can be discussed with our staff at the time of booking the visit.
During Sedation
This is the time for you to get in your final snuggles and kisses as your cherished companion becomes drowsy or drifts off to sleep.
Euthanasia
In the final step of euthanasia, a compassionate approach is taken to ensure that your beloved pet experiences a peaceful transition. A carefully administered injection is gently given, allowing your cherished companion to gracefully and painlessly embrace a restful departure from this world.
After your pet has passed
The veterinarian will give you as much time as you need to say goodbye to your cherished companion.
A fur clipping can be requested before your pet departs from your home.
Aftercare
After you have had a chance to say goodbye to your pet, your Peaceful Passing veterinarian will assist in carrying your pet to their vehicle. They will wrap your pet in a blanket, towel, or sheet that you have provided. Larger pets will be carried on a hand-held stretcher to provide support. We will request the assistance of at least one other strong individual at the home for pets weighing over 30 lbs.
Your pet will be cared for by your Peaceful Passing veterinarian until they are transfered to the care of one of our aftercare providers (cremation or aquamation). Rest assured that your pet’s body will be treated with dignity and respect during their aftercare journey. Should you wish to deliver your pet to one of our aftercare providers directly, this can be arranged with advance notice. Please mention this to our Peaceful Passing Client Care Team and we will be happy to assist. Your comfort is very important to us.
Memorialization
If you have chosen cremation or aquamation for your pet’s aftercare, and if you have indicated that you are interested in purchasing a memorial product (urn, paw print, or other keepsake), we will assist you in purchasing your selections either over the phone, by email, or by providing online access to a private portal. All paw/nose print selections must be made before your pet is cremated or aquamated.
