Plan ahead

Plan ahead for in-home euthanasia

It’s often difficult to plan ahead for in-home euthanasia because we want our companions to always be by our side.

It can feel very painful to plan a goodbye.

Although we can often support your family the next day or the same day depending on our availability, planning final arrangements ahead of time for your companion and your family provides peace of mind.

Create comfort

It may feel strange to schedule your companion's in-home euthanasia. However, by planning ahead, it provides a sense of control and predictability over a situation in which you may feel as though you have little power.

Pre-planning allows families to make decisions together with more clarity, and in a more relaxed environment.

  • Emotional overwhelm is reduced when arrangements have been made beforehand.

  • Feel reassured knowing that you can create a meaningful goodbye for your companion in the safety and comfort of your home.

  • Reduce any fear, anxiety or stress your companion might have when visiting a veterinary clinic.

  • Feel safe in a comfortable and familiar environment.

  • Arrange any pre-procedure medications should your companion experience fear or anxiety with veterinary care.

A meaningful goodbye - your way

A shared experience through a meaningful goodbye provides understanding, connection, emotional support, and helps us navigate the complexities of dealing with death, grief and loss.

  • Create meaning during this final goodbye with a ritual or ceremony to reflect your beliefs or culture.

  • Make the most of your final days with your companion by doing your companion's favourite things together.

  • Include personal touches that bring comfort to you and others. 

If you're ready to take the first step, contact us for an initial discussion.

We're here to support your family and provide you with the information you need to make the right decision for your family.
