When a pet faces chronic pain or a terminal illness, euthanasia provides a compassionate farewell.
At Coastland Veterinary Hospital, we understand that saying goodbye to your pet is a difficult and painful decision. For this reason, our team strives to ensure that you feel supported and informed throughout the entire process. Our end of life services will guarantee that your loyal companion will have the dignity they deserve, as you experience the hardest moments of being a pet owner.
Euthanasia is the process of administering medication, through intravenous injections, that will end your pet’s life in the most peaceful and humane way possible.
The entire procedure is completely pain-free. Once the medication has been given, your pet will quickly lose consciousness, and then they will experience a deep anesthetic effect. The dosing of the medication will then cause their lungs and heart to cease functioning.
As pet owners and animal lovers ourselves, we know that the decision to let go of your pet can seem like an impossible situation. At the end of the day, the decision is up to you. Some factors that may help you decide are if your pet is in chronic excessive pain, if they are no longer able to enjoy or take part in activities they love, if they can no longer use the bathroom on their own and if they are no longer able to properly eat or drink. As always, you are more than welcome to reach out to our team and schedule a consultation to learn more about this option.
The loss of a pet can be devastating. Our fur babies are important to us and we love them immensely.
