Settling on the right moment to say goodbye to your pet, even if you know its the right decision, can be a very difficult choice.
Here we will explore just some of the advantages to at home euthanasia....
Flexible timings and locations - With at home pet euthanasia, you can control the day, time and who is present. A lot of people find evening/night or weekend appointments easier as they have no work to schedule the appointment around. You can also chose the location, such as, if the weather is nice some people prefer to say goodbye in the garden while others will prefer to snuggle up together in their favourite spot on the sofa. At home means you can also have other family members/pets present if you wish
Mobility issues - Many people who call us are wheelchair users, elderly or have mobility issues. This can be a very difficult situation for people to transport their pet to a vet practice, particularly if their pet is large. Equally if a person has a collapsed large dog that they cannot lift into their vehicle, this can be very distressing for both the pet and owner. By choosing to say goodbye at home this eliminates the stress of transport complications
Familiar environment - one of the most common reasons we find our clients call is the desire to reduce the stress for their pet at an already difficult time. A number of pets feel anxious about a visit to a pet practice, but by having a vet visit your home, your pet is already at ease in their own environment, minimising their stress levels and hopefully the owner too
