Understanding the in-home pet euthanasia process
Understanding the process
Whether your companion is entering the final chapter of life due to illness, disability or age, the end-of-life period is one of the most challenging times in our companion animal's life. It's also a challenging time for you. At Mulberry Lane, we specialize in gentle in-home pet euthanasia in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Richmond, Tsawwassen/Ladner and West Vancouver, guiding you with compassion every step of the way.
We're here to support you on this difficult journey. We help with final arrangements for A Meaningful Goodbye™ with in-home euthanasia. So you can focus on what really matters, making the most of the remaining time with your beloved companion.
Here’s a step-by-step process of what to expect.
First step: A free consultation
Reaching out for in-home pet euthanasia is never easy; it means facing one of life’s hardest farewells. Whether you call or email, our team is here to support you, answer your questions, and prepare for a peaceful goodbye that honours your companion’s life.
Second step: Arranging in-home pet euthanasia
When you give us a call, we take the time to understand you and your beloved companion, and what has led you to this challenging decision. Tell us about your loved one, and what is going on. Share your questions and concerns.
We provide in-home pet euthanasia that extends beyond the medical treatment of companions to consider their emotional well-being, and yours. We care about the relationship and attachment you have with your companion.
During our conversation, we'll discuss:
Your companion’s medical condition and what has led you to this difficult decision.
What an in-home pet euthanasia entails.
Aftercare options including pet cremation and private viewing.
Scheduling — whether our service is required immediately or you're planning ahead.
Personal touches to celebrate your companion's life and keepsakes.
We're dedicated to supporting families during this experience. After our discussion, you'll have confidence knowing that you've made the right decision for your loved one.
Third step: A Meaningful Goodbye™ with in-home pet euthanasia
On the day of your meaningful goodbye, our priority is to ensure you and everyone attending can be fully present to feel your feelings, share memories, relive joyful moments, and experience an abundance of love for your companion. Every family will want to celebrate their companion's life in their own special way.
Our doctor will have a brief discussion with you and gently guide you through the in-home pet euthanasia process.
Whether this is your first time euthanizing and saying goodbye to your companion, or you've had to say goodbye to many companions, it's always difficult.
Your beloved companion's goodbye will be treated with compassion, respect and kindness. Being emotionally attuned to your family is important to us, particularly at this time. It's our honour to support your family.
Fourth step: Aftercare and pet cremation in Vancouver and beyond
After your companion’s passing, we assist with every detail of aftercare including private viewings, keepsakes, and pet cremation in Vancouver and surrounding areas. We can provide guidance on specific memorial wishes. The details matter to you, and they matter to us.
Your family will also receive resources for grief support.
We really care about the work we do, and supporting families during this experience. Every interaction is an opportunity for us to engage with compassion, curiosity, understanding and integrity.
