Euthanasia: Making the Final Decision to Say Goodbye
Making the Decision to Euthanize Your Pet
Euthanasia, simply put is the act or practice of ending the life of an animal that is ill or injured to prevent any further suffering. What does that mean for you and your pet?
Why is it time to consider euthanasia?
Do you have all the medical information from your veterinarian? Is there anything else you need to know?
Can you maintain your pet’s normal routines?
Do you have fears or misconceptions about the euthanasia procedure; what will happen and what to expect? Do you have a special request but are unsure if you are allowed/able to include them? If so, talk to your veterinarian.
What fears do you have for yourself, your children, or your family regarding this decision?
Will you be present during your pet’s euthanasia?
How will you care for your pet’s body? Do you know what your veterinarian offers?
When you have made the decision go through a checklist and make sure you and your pet’s wishes have been met.
For your convenience please print the Euthanasia Consent and Options Form. Take a moment at the quiet of your own home to discuss your options and make your decisions ahead of time.
