Home euthanasia is a low stress, peaceful way to say goodbye to your beloved pet, in the privacy of your home...

Thinking about euthanasia is something that no pet owner likes to dwell on, but sadly it is a decision that many dog owners eventually have to face. Taking responsibility for a pain-free, peaceful death with the company of loved ones is the kindest act an owner can do for a much-loved pet.

ARRIVING AT THE DECISION TO EUTHANISE YOUR DOG

Talk it over with your veterinary surgeon and your family and friends. Questions to think about include:

Can your dog still eat, drink, sleep and move around reasonably comfortably?
Does he or she respond to your presence and greet you?
Does feeding time attract interest?

Persistent and incurable inability to eat, vomiting, signs of pain, distress or discomfort, or difficulty in breathing are all indications that euthanasia should be considered. You and your family know your dog better than anyone else, so try to make a reasoned judgement on his or her quality of life. If you are hoping for an improvement in your dog’s condition, setting a time limit may be a sensible option. Sadly, few dogs die peacefully in their sleep at home. Most reach a point when their quality of life is unsatisfactory, and a decision for euthanasia has to be made.

Living with a chronically ill dog can be emotionally (and financially) draining. Often there is a substantial time commitment involved in care. Not every owner is able to cope and, if there is no chance of a recovery and you are unable to give your dog the degree of care needed for a comfortable life, it may be better to opt for euthanasia. With some invalid dogs there is the possibility of a sudden and unpredictable deterioration. If you are unable to make arrangements for your dog to receive emergency care, euthanasia may be a better option.

SAYING GOODBYE

Once you have made this very difficult decision, you will also need to decide how and where you and your family will say the final goodbye. It is an individual decision whether or not you and your family want to be present during the euthanasia procedure. For some pet owners, the emotion may be too overwhelming, but for many, it is a comfort to be with their pet during the final moments. It may be inappropriate for young children to witness the procedure since they are not yet able to understand death and may also not understand that they need to remain still and quiet.

Charlene came to our house to euthanize our beautiful girl Mia, she had stage 4 heart failure and seizures, and couldn't breathe, Charlene was so lovely at this sad time. I would recommend this doctor at any time, at one of the sadest parts of your life. - Tim S.

The care and professionalism that Charlene gave us on Sunday 22May was very much appreciated. We were absolutely devastated to loose both our fur babies in the same week. I have already recommended you to my girlfriend who has elderly fur babies for when the time comes for her fur babies to be at peace. Thankyou - Sharon S

Dr Charlene came to our house recently and gave treatment to our beloved poor sick cat. I was very deeply moved by the level of gentleness and compassion, and tender care given. I will be eternally grateful for Charlenes love and care. 100% Love, Care and Kindness. - Sue G

Our beloved Charlie passed over the rainbow bridge with his sister Rosie by his side along with his special human parents. He was in his nice warm bed and peaceful slipped away. Having him put to sleep at home with our special vet Charlene was the best decision we ever made. It gave us the opportunity to say our goodbyes in comfort and private. Paws4life provided the best service for our beautiful boys passing. Thankyou. - tracey k

Dr Charlene was wonderful, caring, patient and understanding when visiting my home during the recent devastating loss of my dog Raani. She is a wonderful vet to call if you ever have to make the hardest decision of your life, she will be there to help you through it. - Liza W

I couldn't have asked for a more peaceful way to say goodbye to my beautiful dog. He was able to pass in the comfort of his couch, surrounded by those who loved him most. Dr Charlene was so gentle and brought much comfort to my grieving family ♥ - Vanessa K

Dr Peter was absolutely wonderful & we've been so impressed with how our beloved 18yr old cat Todd's last hours were handled, as well as with Evermore's service. Delivering Todd home after cremation was unexpected & so appreciated. The follow up messages to ensure we were okay and to again offer their condolences made us feel valued by Pawssum as well. Thankyou!

Outstanding service: Dr Stuart visited my home and saved me the dreadful visit to the vet to put my beloved Snoopy to sleep. My family was with me and Snoopy was able to lay on my lap, with my other dog beside. It was respectful, calm, dignified, kind and quick. Dr Stuart was gentle and empathetic. I would not hesitate to use this service again and would completely recommend it to anyone in this terrible situation. Thank you Dr Stuart, I am so grateful to you.

The Pawssum Vets team responded so quickly and professionally when i was in need to put my 18-year-old puppy down. It was an extremely hard moment for me but they provided the best service in a quick manner of time. The team even checked up on me after the process which made me feel very valued. It did not feel like i was a customer to them but rather a friend that was there for me when I needed them.

We are very grateful to have had the Dr to put our beloved 15 year old cat Sushi to rest. He was professional, kind and calming. He put us at ease from the moment he came. Our Sushi was laid to rest while he was asleep and we couldn't have asked for a more dignified and seamless ending for him. Thank you very much

Our 13 year old Moxy was in a lot of pain and sadly we realised she was reaching her limit, so my family and I made the extremely hard decision to put her to sleep. The vet was very patient, sympathetic and kind. He helped us with our decision and the process was very gentle.

On Tuesday we had to say goodbye to our Beautiful Ozzy. He had been with us for nearly 16 years and will be missed eveyday. I contacted Pawssum vets to come out to our house, they were very respectful and explained every thing that needed to be done. I would highly recommend them. Thank you again.

Our little Jack Russell - Roley gave us 17 years of his life. They were wonderful happy years full of excitement and adventures. Roleys little body gave as much as it could until it could give no more. I contacted Dr Patrick and asked if he could visit our home to help Roley make his way over rainbow bridge. It was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make but Dr Patrick was so caring and compassionate, he really looked after our little man and allowed us as much time as we needed to say our final goodbyes. 😢 🐶 Thank you Dr Patrick I will never forget your kindness ♥️

Dr Patrick has so much compassion and understanding for when you are going through such a difficult time. He was super amazing when we had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy Ben.

Dr Patrick is absolutely amazing. He has euthanised 2 of our cats. He is compassionate, professional , and explains every step. He is guided by you and he certainly makes an extremely sad time a little less painful with his kindness and care. I can not recommend him highly enough. 😻😽😺

We had the experience of Patrick putting our dear little Mikie to sleep and he is now buried in our garden in a velvet pouch. We thoroughly recommend Patrick for any care of pets. Pam and Peter

Losing baby Paris was so so hard but having the best of care and compassion from Dr Patrick made the loss a little more bearable. Being at home was less traumatic and my other fur babies accepted her passing easier and didn’t search for Paris as they may have had she simply been taken away to the vet. Thank you Dr Patrick.
