24-Hour Gentle and Dignified
Euthanasia - at Home:
The decision to
euthanize one's pet - or to end a friend's life - is never an easy one for a
pet owner. It is often accompanied by much grief, anxiety and even guilt at the
thought of saying goodbye to one's highly valued and often long time companion.
We know this very well indeed; being very devoted and multiple pet owners
ourselves.
Euthanasia is a
responsibility we take seriously and reverently. We see it as a privilege for
us to be included at a time where final moments are spent with a beloved friend
and true life companion.
We feel, after
having conducted hundreds of peaceful home euthanasias these past few years, that
we are extremely experienced in compassionately relieving our patients - your
highly valued pet - from discomfort, whatever it may be, and offer to you a
chance to give your furry companion a dignified and caring goodbye, at peace in
the comfort and un-hurried privacy of your own home.
We see this as a
dignified last farewell that any loved one - or just living - creature really
should be entitled to if at all possible.
Our patients hereby
and most deservedly, aren't required to spend their last moments frightened or
distressed in a scary, unfamiliar hospital environment after an often stressful,
or even painful, last journey. Rather, they spend their last moments in the
arms of those they love, on their favourite bed, blanket or lap and in safe, familiar
surroundings.
These final moments
together are precious and we go a very long way to make sure those moments are as
calm and gentle as possible - for everyone involved- as we are aware indeed
that everyone is unique and has very different, individual needs.
AFTER THE PROCEDURE
When your pet is
deceased, we make sure you find the arrangement you feel most comfortable with;
whether it's that we gently take your deceased pet with us to the crematorium,
with other deceased pets or maybe leave him/her for you to find a suitable,
favourite sunny spot in the garden or we can even make private arrangements
with the crematorium for returning the ashes in a nice wooden casket with a
name plate, in a simple scatter box or even for burial - which ever suits your
last wishes for your pets earthly remains the best!
In short, you make
the choice that suits your wishes and situation best and we make sure it is all
taken off your shoulders- so you can make the most of these last dear moments
with your pet - with as few other worries as possible!
If need be we can
even arrange for - and have done a number of times - a referral to a
bereavement counsellor, as we ourselves have learned through our years in this
world, that parting with a truly loved one - human or non-human - is a time of
severe distress and heart wrenching trauma for many people for a very, very
long time after. It's the dreaded but unavoidable price for a long, happy life
with a pet - however difficult we know it can be at these times - for everyone
who unavoidably has to experience this.
