Why should I choose home euthanasia?
For some pets, a trip to the animal clinic is a terrifying experience. The car ride, the smells, the slippery exam tables, and the presence of other animals add to their anxiety. When our beloved pets are at their most vulnerable, the last place they should be is where they feel anxious. To help make those last moments peaceful for your pet, Dr. MacDonald has made herself available for home euthanasia. Her 12 years of experience and her understanding of the importance of our pet’s comfort at the end of their lives have inspired her to offer this service.
What should I expect when the time comes?
Dr. MacDonald will arrive and meet with you and your family. She will administer a sedative injection to help relax your pet. When the pet and family are ready, Dr. MacDonald will proceed with administering the euthanasia solution. It is a very peaceful experience, much like watching your animal drifting off to sleep. If desired, Dr. MacDonald will arrange for transport and cremation of your beloved pet through Austin Pet Memorial Center. Additional options for aftercare are available and can be discussed with Dr. MacDonald.
