Many people choose to take their pets to their regular veterinary clinic to be euthanized for a variety of reasons. Many people or pets are attached to their doctors or vet teams; some don’t want the memory of euthanasia in their home; others because they needed to take the first available option.
In-Home euthanasia, however, can be a wonderful alternative to going into the clinic or vet hospital for many patients.
- Your pet does not have to travel to the vet hospital, which is stressful for many pets and may be painful if the pet has mobility issues. Larger pets can be difficult to get into a car if they are unable to walk; in-home euthanasia allows your pet to stay where they are comfortable and makes it less likely for you to get injured trying to load your pet.
- Your pet can stay in their own home, where they are familiar with everything and most comfortable. You can help choose the location you think your pet would find the most comforting.
- In-home euthanasia is much more intimate and private. There is no having to talk to the receptionist, walk into the hospital crying, see several team members and then have to walk into the lobby crying again. With Comfort Care Mobile, it is just your family and your veterinarian, and you can feel more free to express the emotions you are having. Our veterinarian is very experienced, non-judgmental and understanding. You will be offered time for privacy with your pet; as long as it is safe for your pet, we will do our best to accommodate this. You will also be given the opportunity after your pet has passed to have privacy if you would like.
- In-home euthanasia allows for more flexibility – to have other family members or pets present, to choose to be outside, or in a favorite bed. You can choose to hold your pet or sit with them. If you have difficulty being present, you have the freedom to leave the room and still know your pet is in excellent hands. Dr. Kristen will love your pet throughout the appointment, regardless of whether you are able to be with your pet during their passing.
- With Comfort Care, you and your pet are in truly loving hands.
