Our Process
Upon arrival, we will greet you and your pet and give them time to adjust to the presence of a new person in their home. We will discuss your options for after care and ensure any required paperwork is complete, as well as collect payment, go over the steps in the procedure, and answer any questions you may have.
Just as every pet is different, each euthanasia experience will be slightly different as well. First, a combination of medications is administered as a single injection under the skin to allow your pet to peacefully enter a deep sleep, free from any pain or awareness. Once they are completely asleep and relaxed, we will move forward with the euthanasia process. A second injection is administered that crosses into the brain and gently shuts down the body over a few minutes.
Euthanasia
Euthanasia refers to the process of humanely and painlessly ending the life of an animal to prevent their suffering. We all wish our pets could live forever with us and the short time we have with them is never long enough. At Sunset Days, we believe that a peaceful and dignified death is a gift we can offer pets approaching the end of their life to relieve their pain and spare them from any further discomfort.
If you feel that your pet has reached a point where euthanasia is appropriate, we can offer a peaceful transition across the Rainbow Bridge from the comfort of your own home. Below is a brief description of the process, if you would like to know ahead of time. We will also go over this prior to the procedure for all members who are present and answer any questions you may have before starting the process.
