​​What to expect on the day of euthanasia:
-We will arrive at your home within 30 minutes of the scheduled time and will have a basket with all the needed supplies.
-There will be paperwork for you to sign and we will take payment prior to the procedure. We do this in person digitally and require wifi or cell service to get done. Otherwise, we can email the forms and invoice up to 24 hours prior which you can either print out or email to us so you can get that taken care of before the sad day.
-When you are ready, your pet will be given an injection of a very powerful sedative.  This is given under the skin in the hip area.

-While this is done, we'll ask that you rub and distract your pet so that they don't notice the needle.  Most pets do not even notice this injection, but occasionally there are a few who complain briefly and calm quickly afterwards.
-The sedation takes anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes for the pet to become completely unconscious. We will monitor them and will not give the second injection until they are completely asleep.
-The final injection is given in the rear leg after they are completely unconscious.  They will not feel the poke or the injection. You are welcome to remain by your pet's head and chest area to speak to them and wish them godspeed across the rainbow bridge.

​-After they have transitioned, we can make an impression of their paw in clay if you desire.
