This is one of the most difficult decisions an owner has to make. I am able to assist you with the choice between hospice care and/or the appropriate time for euthanasia. Many people prefer to have a veterinarian come to the house to perform an euthanasia instead of having to bring the animal to the clinic, especially if the pet doesn’t like car rides or is fearful at clinics. I am able to come to your home and make the transition more peaceful.
There are support groups in Denver which can be very helpful, as well as books for all age groups. The Human/Animal Bond Trust is one of these organizations and can be found at: www.humananimalbondtrust.org
I believe that if we can deal with many of the grief issues in a healing way before death, losing a beloved friend can be peaceful and leave you with a sense of closure.
I am always willing to discuss when to make the difficult decision of euthanasia, the many faces of grief and options for aftercare of your pet’s body.
