What to expect
Once the decision is made for humane euthanasia, our ultimate goal is to make the process smooth and stress-free for all involved, most importantly for your pet.
Some people choose to be with their pet during the procedure, which we encourage. All steps are explained to any family members present, with time to express any concerns or questions prior.
