At Dignipets, we focus on making your dog’s final moments as peaceful and comforting as possible.
Our experienced hospice vets work closely with you, carefully considering your dog’s unique personality and medical condition. Together, we’ll create a calm and respectful environment where your dog can feel safe and loved right to the very end.
What To Expect During A Dog Euthanasia Home Visit
Once you schedule the visit, we will promptly send you all the necessary information via email. Be sure to take your time reading through it, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. As the visit approaches, you will receive a notification letting you know when the vet is on their way. The vet will arrive in a discreet vehicle, sometimes with a subtle logo, and will be dressed in branded clothing to maintain a professional appearance.
In your booking details, you will find a PDF containing a “Do Not Disturb” sign. Simply print it out and attach it to your door. This small step helps maintain privacy and tranquillity during this emotional moment. By taking this action, you can ensure a peaceful environment for both you and your dog.
Upon the vet’s arrival, they will clearly explain the entire process and address any questions you have. It’s important that you feel informed and comfortable, and your input is vital in ensuring that the procedure is as peaceful and respectful as possible for both you and your dog. The vet will guide you through every step, so you know exactly what to expect.
After answering any remaining questions and establishing a plan, the vet will sedate your dog. This step is crucial to make sure your dog is comfortable and relaxed, allowing them to be at ease before the final procedure. The sedation helps alleviate any pain, ensuring a calm and peaceful experience for your pet.
Once your dog is deeply sedated, the vet will administer the euthanasia injection. In some cases, the vet may remove a small area of fur to access the injection site. During this process, your dog may tremble or take a final breath. Rest assured, this is a natural part of the process and indicates that your dog is peacefully transitioning. The vet will be with you every step of the way, ensuring your dog’s comfort.
Finally, the vet will listen to your dog’s heart to confirm their passing. This step ensures the procedure has been completed respectfully and peacefully. You can take comfort in knowing that your dog has passed away in the most dignified way, surrounded by love in the comfort of your home.
