Caring and Compassionate Pet Euthanasia
As difficult as this most challenging decision can be, when pets are suffering pet euthanasia is the most caring and compassionate choice.
Understanding When It's Time to Say Goodbye
It can be difficult for pet owners to determine when it’s time to say goodbye to their beloved pets, especially if your pet has good days and bad days. If you are unsure as to whether it’s time to say goodbye, your regular Veterinarian can help to provide information and guide your decision-making process. Unfortunately, sometimes your pet may start to suffer at a time when your regular Veterinarian's office is closed. Whether it be due to injury, illness or advanced age, Kansas City Animal Emergency is here for you and your pet when your regular Veterinarian is not available.
Pet Euthanasia at KCAE
Pet owners may choose to have a euthanasia performed at Kansas City Animal Emergency for many different reasons. While making the decision is the often the hardest part, coming in to say goodbye can be a very difficult process. While nothing can completely remove the pain that comes with saying goodbye to a beloved family member, sometimes it can help a little bit when you know what to expect.
Once you arrive in our office, you will have the option of choosing how involved you wish to be in your pet’s final moments. If you wish to stay with your beloved dog or cat throughout their final moments, our team will escort you to a private room where you can say your goodbyes and hold your pet while he or she passes.
During the procedure, your veterinarian will give your pet a sedative to put them to sleep then inject the medications that help your pet pass peacefully. Once your pet has passed, you will have the option to take your pet back home for burial, or we can help you to select options for remains to be returned to you in the form of ash.
If you have questions about pet euthanasia please do not hesitate to call us. We care deeply about making this difficult process as peaceful as possible for you, your pet and your family.
