EUTHANASIA
When suffering can no longer be managed, euthanasia can be the kindest option for your pet. We provide this service in a calm and respectful environment, giving you choices about:
Catheter placement
We place a catheter to administer the euthanasia solution. This can be done with or without the owner present, depending on your preference.
