Euthanasia is something most people would rather not think about, unfortunately, our furry children become old and ill, and when they appear to be suffering, sometimes euthanasia is the most caring and compassionate thing an owner can do.
It can be difficult for pet parents to determine when it’s time to say goodbye to their beloved pets, especially if your fur baby has good days and bad days. If you are unsure as to whether it’s time to say goodbye, North Jersey Veterinary Hospital can evaluate your pet’s health and answer your questions in order to help you make a decision.
Your Pet Is in Chronic Pain that Cannot Be Alleviated With Medication
Your Pet Has Stopped Eating and/or Lost Weight
Your Pet Has Chronic Vomiting and Diarrhea that Cannot Be Controlled
Your Pet’s Activity Levels Have Dropped
Your Pet Can No Longer Stand or Walk on His or Her Own
Many pet parents choose in-office pet euthanasia. However, they still want their pets to be comfortable for the journey and to help reduce pet anxiety. North Jersey Veterinary Hospital has a comfort room that is more cozy and quiet. We hope that this room provides some form of comfort to you and your fur baby during this difficult time.
Once you arrive in our office, you will have the option of choosing how involved you wish to be in your pet’s final moments. If you wish to stay with your beloved dog or cat throughout their final moments, our team will escort you to our comfort room where you can say your goodbyes and hold your pet while he or she passes.
During the procedure, your veterinarian will give your pet a sedative to put them to sleep then inject the medications that help your pet pass peacefully. Once your fur child has passed, you will have the option to take your pet back home or receive ashes at a later date from cremation.
