Euthanasia actually means “good or peaceable” death.  Pets often become quite anxious and stressed when taken to an animal hospital or clinic. You can avoid stressing your pet by allowing the procedure to be done in the familiar, peaceful, quiet surroundings of their home.

When you have done a quality of life assessment and have found that there fewer “good times” and mostly “bad times”, it is time to give strong consideration to helping your pet by ending the suffering.  We recognize this is a very difficult decision, however, not making a decision often ends up causing your pet undue pain and suffering. Natural death can be very painful and agonizing for your pet, therefore, let us help you make the transition easier. 

In-home euthanasia also allows you to grieve and spend time with your pet in the privacy of your own home according to your schedule. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule so that you, your family and your pet's loved ones can be there to surround him/her with love and compassion.

When the decision for in-home pet euthanasia is made, we will come to your home when you need us, 24x7, to assist you with your pet’s peaceful transition.  We will help you with this most difficult decision by offering our expertise and support in every step of the process.

 Dr. Larry Magnuson will come to your home at the pre-scheduled time. We will set aside approximately one hour to allow you, your family and friends to have adequate time to say your goodbyes and be with your beloved pet in these final moments.

After placing your pet comfortably where you have chosen, a special place in the home or yard, we will administer a sedating medication.  We do this because we believe that there should be no pain in the last moments of life.   Afterwards, we will then administer a medication that will allow your beloved friend to pass quietly and peacefully. 

We will respectfully allow you and your family all the time needed to spend with your pet during and after the procedure. 

We will fully discuss all of this with you throughout the procedure, and answer all of your questions!
