Our
pets don't live as long as we would like them to. Many times we need to make the decision to euthanize.
How do we know the right time?
You must assess your pet's quality of life--think of five things
your pet loved to do: come and beg at dinner, go for walks, run, play,
and always eat and sleep. When
eating and sleeping is all there is, there is no longer a decent quality
of life.
You
may wish to stay with your pet during euthanasia.
Being present means that you don't have to imagine how it went,
and you can see that there was no suffering and no pain.
You
will also need to make a decision regarding what to do with the body.
You may bury your pet at home.
Most families opt for cremation.
Cremation is performed for us by InServe Corporation, a pet
crematorium in Connecticut.
You may opt to have your pet's ashes returned to you in a
decorative tin, or a special urn.
Please ask our staff to explain all your options. |
