Helping Families Say Goodbye Peacefully
In-home euthanasia is a kind, final gift to give our pets who have been by our sides through the ups and downs of life. When it comes time to help your pet cross the Rainbow Bridge, it is a privilege to be able to let them go in a home environment they are familiar with, surrounded by people they love.
We strive to provide gentle, judgement-free service for all euthanasias. If you are uncertain about when or how to make end-of-life decisions, please reach out for a consultation.

On the day of your appointment, we will go over the procedure of putting your pet to sleep with you step-by-step. Do not be afraid to ask any questions. Friends, family, and children are welcome to be present.
Once you feel comfortable, your pet will get an injection of a sedative to help them feel calm and stress-free. Most pets will be relaxed within 5-10 minutes. When the pet has settled, we will place an IV and administer the final medications through it.
You can stay by your pet’s side through the entire process or step out, as you are comfortable. The pace of the appointment is up to you. Every pet and family is different, and we strive to make sure everyone’s last memories of their pet are peaceful.

We work with a local pet crematorium to handle the remains of beloved pets. When you are ready, we will move your pet to the car and transport them to the pet crematorium. If you opt to do a private cremation, we will go over options for returning your pet’s ashes to you. You may also keep your pet at home for home burial.
