-
Upon arrival for the appointment, you will be led into a private room where you can have some time with your pet whilst you wait for the Veterinary Surgeon, away from the reception area.
The vet will then have a discussion with you, explaining the procedure, offer cremation or burial options and get your consent for the euthanasia. Your pet will then need an intravenous catheter placed into a vein, usually a leg, to administer the medication which will peacefully put your pet to sleep.
You will have as much time as you need with your pet and to say goodbye before the vet administers the injection — they will check with you when you are ready.
-
If you have an anxious or nervous pet the Veterinary Surgeon may suggest that a sedative is administered before the euthanasia is performed. That way they can be as relaxed as possible before the procedure.
-
Of course, you have the right to choose to stay or not with your pet throughout the euthanasia procedure.
