What is In-Home Pet Euthanasia?

The decision to put a suffering animal down is the most difficult one an owner must make. For many pet owners, the dog is seen as an integral part of the family. At Gentle Journey, our mission is to support you with this decision by creating the most serene and comforting environment possible for your dog’s final hours. Our in-home euthanasia service provides the most peaceful way for you to give your dog a compassionate farewell.How The Process WorksOnce you’ve made the decision to give your dog a peaceful end, we provide a free phone consultation to determine the best time to schedule the procedure. Dr. Christina or another trained veterinarian will travel to your home on the agreed upon date. We create a personalize sedative/anesthetic based on your dog’s illness and temperament. Once the sedative takes hold and your dog is at ease, the euthanasia solution is injected. As the solution enters the bloodstream, your dog’s breathing will quicken followed by a slowing and stopping of the heart. This process takes anywhere from 1-3 minutes. The entire procedure should be complete within 60 minutes.Saying goodbye to a friend is never easy, but we’re here to help you make the final hours of your dog’s life as comfortable and loving as possible.
