We are never quite prepared for the death of a pet. Whether death is swift and unexpected or a slow decline, we are never fully aware of what a pet has brought to our lives until our companion is gone. And the impact of a pet’s death is significantly increased when, as responsible and loving caretakers, we decide to have the pet euthanized.

What is Euthanasia?
Euthanasia is the induction of painless death.

To request euthanasia of a pet is probably the most difficult decision a pet owner can make. Guilt sits heavily on the one who must decide. The fundamental guideline is to do what is best for your pet, even if you suffer in doing this.
